I choose this article because I am interesting in learning other countries around the Pacific. Which I know only Tonga and Vanuatu but I want to learn and study another country that is why I choose Maori (NZ) because I just want to know more about their history or learn another language. Since, I know English, Tongan, and Bislama (Vanuatu language) so I am eager to learn another language.
