By that guys logic, why teach kids any language at all. I never get why people get so riled up when people teach their kids Maori but then they do language classes at school like Spanish and French and nobody gets mad. Learning multiple languages is good for your brain 🧠

Restrict? Paru energy from the commenter 😬 if anything you’re expanding their knowledge as someone who didn’t grow up with te reo Maori I’d give anything to have the opportunity to speak in both😩✨

Amber Taurima :
There’s actually a lot of developmental benefits to tamariki growing up bilingual or multilingual. Learning more than one language helps children develop an understanding of different language structures, sounds and ways of communicating. This can make learning additional languages easier later in life, particularly when languages are structured quite differently. It also supports cognitive flexibility and language awareness. Teaching tamariki their indigenous language alongside English isn’t disadvantaging them. It’s giving them additional skills, opportunities and a connection to their cultural identity. English doesn’t have to come at the expense of their own culture or language.

Māori was my first language too, I didn’t speak much English til my family moved to the South Island when I was 6. I was never going to be able to avoid learning English as it’s everywhere.. by High School I was put in to the advanced English class and I had nothing but benefits being bilingual. What a crap comment 😂
