He mea pai te waiata hei whakapakari i tō reo. E tino whai hononga ana tēnei mea te rangi me tēnei mea te mahara. Mā te tūtapa kupu me te hokinga o te mahara e whakanake ai te reo e ako nei koe i a koe ka ako mā te puoro. Waihoki, he tino NGAHAU!

Singing is a great way to practice your reo. Melody and memory are strongly linked. And word identification and memory recall improves in a language you are learning when you learn through music. Plus it’s FUN!
