I happened to have my lunch in a corner where two members of staff were conferring. They were speaking in Maori about Maori matters.

That started me thinking.

Language acquisition is an issue for them. Acquiring Maori myself would certainly result in increased credibility (mana). And coming up with a ‘best practice’ would most certainly open interesting doors for me.

It’s a thought, is it not?

If I pick up Maori within a matter of weeks, people would notice. The proof of the pudding is in the eating and all that. So I’m toying—more than toying—with the notion.
