Scotty's Continuers

A small group of us in the Hamilton office are still meeting weekly to work on the 2nd book in Scotty Morrison's Te Reo series.
It's getting pretty technical! We're looking at tenses of a action sentence, and negating these sentences, and are currently practicing the possessive pro nouns involving self, others, groups of 3 or less and groupos of 4 or more. Things got really confusing when the concept of ownership or superiority was introduced here with oo and aa, too and taa (sorry, no macrons!) but we consulted with one of the Te Reo teachers who said just leave it with the "too" version while we're learning as the idea behind knowing which pronoun to use is a whole day wananga in itself.

AT our current pace we hope to have book 2 completed by the end of the year. Another goal we are working on is to memorize a simple karakia kai.
