I'm at a bar and can't watch a video, saving this bad boy for later!

Fun fact I learned recently is that the word "loot" came into English from the Hindustani word lut (plunder). We even looted the word loot!

You're welcome!

If you can track it down there's a 2002 movie called Whale Rider which is a good watch and features some Te Reo as well as portraying some other aspects of traditional Maori culture.

It's the kind of thing they use in school in New Zealand (Aotearoa) to teach kids the basics of Te Reo Maori pronunciation. Here's a video with a lesson in pronunciation.

Here's a similar resource used to teach colours.

If you want to hear some spoken Te Reo here's a short video which tells the story of the great hero Maui taming the sun.

Fun fact: The Te Reo Maori alphabet doesn't contain the letter "L". So I don't think "ala" could be a valid Maori word at all.

I really enjoyed it when it was first on, I recall it suffered through a writers strike but it was one of the first shows I'd really gotten in to as it was being put out. Every time I think of rewatching it I only get through a couple episodes tho. It just doesn't really do it for me. Hard to explain because I generally love a good rewatch.
