| 1253387 | 2012-01-10 18:40:00 | Try contacting John Moorfield, Professor at AUT. John is arguably the authority on Te Reo, is the author of many texts, books, dictionaries as well as writing a 100 series TV show on the subject. I'm sure you'll find him approachable and sympathetic to your search. Good luck. :) | WalOne (4202) | ||
