I took the day's text snippets from an overview of The Maori Language from Youtube. It's always useful to get some light exposure to a language's grammar early on, and to regularly repeat that, not with the idea of having to memorize it, but just to gain a sense of what's going on.
We are like a sheet of paper waxed over unevenly and to various thicknesses. The wax is invisible, so you can't predict what you are ready to learn, and all that you can do is wash over it with paint and hope that some sticks. As the wax wears off - wax on, wax off, more and more of the surface becomes amenable to absorbing the language.
