Many of the beautiful migrant languages we have here in Aotearoa are safely maintained in homes around the motu. In this epi we leave our couch and take a seat with some friends Harthiga Gnanam & Thuvaraka Poobalu, two cousins who share ancestry to Sri Lanka and a language, Tamil. What's new, similar and different to trying to maintain te reo Māori in our whare? Let's find out!

Ari & Vini dive into the remedy for our language woes - language planning. A boring name that packs a lot of punch. Why is it important we all do it, and why should we fail at it?

CW: Language trauma
This week we tackle a pretty massive kaupapa, language trauma. We don't reckon we'll get to the bottom of it in one episode - but we do want to float some thoughts. Where does it come from, how do we get rid of it, and does it ever go away?

Hollie and Liki are friends raising their tamaiti principally in te reo Māori and Lea Faka-tonga, Tongan. Working with three languages (e.g. Māori, Tongan and English) is not something we talk about a lot in language chats, but it's reasonably common as a life dynamic. Let's chat about it!
People like Hollie and Liki are beacons for our language journey right now, and we're so excited to air this chat with y...

We jump into some kōrero about the power dynamics of communication between couples, and what happens when there's a difference in how much re...
In episode 2, we let you into a little about our life. The life and times of Ari and Vini! Who are we, what kind of life do we live? What are our language backgrounds? The 'stuff' of life will be different for us all, but we reckon the success of our language change will depend on how we take each part of the day, and make it te reo Māori, while also leaving room for other languages we care about.
Me mihi ka tika ki ēnei ...
