Te Whanau (The Family)

Here is 'my' whanau. In this photo are my brothers, nephews, nieces, brother-in-law, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, husband, (adult) children and mokopuna (grandchildren)
Having a photo like this is great for one to learn the Māori words for family members and once you know them, learn a simple sentence structure or two - then practice, practice, practice using your Reo.
There are many resources and Websites where you can access the words and sentences you may need.
The RTM's(Resource Teachers of Maori) are also able to help with the kōrero around a Whanau photo.
What a goal to set yourself for 2010. Tumeke! (Go for it!)
