Language exchange wanted te reo Māori in return for French, German, English, ESOL or Reading

Deborah from Bishopdale

I am wanting to speak Māori weekly or every fortnight with a fluent speaker to improve my te reo. I live in Bishopdale so would prefer not to travel far.

I did the three year diploma some years ago at the Wānanga o Aotearoa.

I was a teacher further back of French, German, English, ESOL and reading. Beginner piano is another possibility.

I am happy to give the exchange lessons to someone nominated by the person who speaks Māori with me if that person does not want or need lessons themselves.

Please ring Deborah on 359 3478.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
