5 DAYS, 5 PHRASES CHALLENGE
In the lead up to NZCLW, we share a phrase a day in Mandarin, Cantonese and te Reo Māori as part of our 5 Days, 5 Phrases Challenge. It is always inspiring to see so many people give the phrases a go, no matter where they were on their language journey.
Keep an eye out on our social media for your chance to get involved in 2026! You will be able to download FREE posters of the phrases closer to the week to share in your school, workplace, or community.
