WHAT THEY LOVE
Igniting passion and appreciation in our community
I purchased 2 flash card readers for my nieces. One for my niece in Australia to help her and her dad learn how to pronounce our beautiful reo. I’m so impressed with the clear pronunciation and will be purchasing another for our own whare as our Pēpi. Fast postage and great communication online. Look forward to making future purchases
