Today, my attention is grabbed by pronouns. In Maori there are many, for each and every combination of people: I, he/she, you, we (I and you, I and (s)he, I and you plural, you two, all of you, you and (s)he, you and they . . . Then there are the possessives.
I"m not making a point of learning them. Instead, they gradually grow more distinct, sometimes fading, but always coming back stronger. I expect that the most commonly used, and those that are more intuitive, will lodge sooner in my brain. The process is truly fascinating.
