@danielle_H_H @GJosephRoche (Heard often in AotearoaNZ) the brain has limited capacity [for second language acquisition] so one must be selective about learning new languages

Good morning in New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Australia & Vanuatu. It’s Feb 22nd, Global Language Advocacy Day. I’m tweeting from the lands of the Wurundjeri people & I acknowledge their language Woi wurrung. If you’re in Aus, QRT telling us whose language you’re on #GLAD22 1/5

[Michelle O'Toole @BrinyBreeze]

Our @ASRC1 Catering has lost $19,000 in work in 20 hours & growing, due to new COVID restrictions. We’re going to keep paying our casual staff but would love you to order our delicious meals made by people seeking asylum to create as much work as possible https://t.co/eG9cQbrhcA

@colourful_hist I'm a Pākehā with basic te reo proficiency but given that Cook Islands Māori is closely related, would guess that it might be pronounced Teh-pah-eru

thank you to whichever genius botanist decided to start categorising trees by hug quality, this is the energy we need in 2021
