So according @te_reo_bot , "tamāhine" means "daughter."

... I like how it looks/sounds like "tama hime"--which would be "jewel princess" in Japanese. Nice resonances. #languages #TeReo #Japanese

I'm finally watching "Doom Patrol" (on ThreeNow), and in the 2nd episode, Alan Tudyk does ominous narrator greetings in multiple languages but his Te Reo needs work: "Nau mai, haere mai" was "Now My, Hair (yes, just one syllable, like the rabbity thing instead of two) My" #language #teReo

Clever use of barcode on the back of the “Māori Picture Dictionary” #TeReo #Māori #language

Comprehensible Māori

I've compiled a list of TV show & movies for beginners to intermediates to watch in te reo Māori. Any suggestions are welcome.

100 days ago, I made a commitment to learn te reo Māori. Now, I've published a blog post to explain my approach and progress so far.

Learning te reo Māori
A mix of grammar study, digital flashcards and 'Comprehensible Input'.

Kei te mōhio koe i tēnei kupu? / Do you know this word?

The incredible folks at #TeHiku are on the lookout for a full stack developer in #Auckland. If you #TeReo this might be your gig.

Ko Richard Littauer tōku ingoa.

I'm an American-raised third culture kid ex-Christian #Vermonter #queer #ADHD and #Autistic #academic working in #opensource and #science on #birds and #linguistics.

Learning #TeReo and other things.

This account is for either hyperlocal stuff related to Aotearoa, #iNaturalist or #eBird, or for more stream of consciousness posts. Path not maintained.

https://mastodon.social/@richlitt for more traditional posting. http://richard.social for the rest.

Been working on this web app for a few weeks and I'm fairly happy with how it works, but I haven't had much feedback. So if you're learning te reo Māori see what you think:

There is evidence that the use of thematic word clusters in second language vocabulary instruction can potentially enhance retention of vocabulary, so the app uses AI to generate thematic clusters for study.

I'm humbled and awed to be in the company of so many accomplished artists, researchers, practitioners, guardians, technologists and designers as part of the Fantastic Futures Conference #FF24 Key Speakers lineup - presented by #NFSA on behalf of the #AI4LAM community.

Peter-Lucas Jones, and the work of #TeHiku Media in preserving and protecting Indigenous speech data of #TeReo is an effort I have long admired. Associate Professor Kirsten Thorpe's work at the Jumbunna Institute at University of Technology Sydney also centres on data sovereignty for Indigenous data, from an archival perspective.

Eryk Salvaggio - @CyberneticForests - also an alum of the #ANU School of #Cybernetics, like myself does incredible work in interrogating social and cultural impacts of #AI, especially in #ComputerVision.

Kartini Ludwig's use of creativity at Kopi Su Studio to empower artists runs counter to the prevailing norm of scraping the internet to build #LLMs and #diffusion models.

And Associate Professor Sydney Shep's trans-disciplinary work in book history and print culture, as well as her practice as a letterpress printer and bookbinder, is a fascinating exploration of how our cultural histories shape our futures.

Together, we hope to convene conversations that help shape the future of #AI and #ML within the #GLAM sector.

Huge thank you to Keir Winesmith and @ingridbmason for the opportunity, and to Ashlinn H. who I know is doing incredible work behind the scenes.

I'm here! Just another cis Pākehā researcher, chiming in from the outskirts of #Ōtautahi. Mainly here to learn from and boost others. Also throwing in the odd opinion, mainly on #linguistic topics.

#introduction

A belated #introduction:

Cis ace neurotypical Pākehā with asthma living in #Ōtautahi. So far covid-free, knock on wood.

I write #scifi and #fantasy veeery slowly.
I read most genre #books but esp love mindgames, unreliable narrators, dubcon, and/or witty dialogue.

In 2021 took up #FigureSkating and am now obsessed though clumsy.

Love #languages: challenging myself to use some #TeReo in every toot.

Other hobbies come and go eg: #knitting, #sewing, #gardening, basic PHP/javascript #coding...
