Roughly 50 days in, I do believe that I am ready to try some dictation. For that, I'll try this 6-min video of the late Keri Kaa titled: He Whanau Tata.
I listened to it last night. I surprised myself at knowing many of the words and phrases. I am confident that I could achieve perhaps 80% accuracy (except for the long vowels, and if I listen at 80% speed), although my understanding lags by a long way.
Not to worry. Trust the process! I shall tackle this as a running dicatiation
Kiaora tatou na whanau, o nga . . . na whanau e uto ni nei ki te kaupapa o te whanau. Me na kai te o whanau tata. Ma onga te na kea. Nga te mea ko taku whanau he whanau tata. Piri tahe matou ki a matou. Engari kai te marama
