they try to teach te reo maori in new zealand primary schools but its half assed as fuck and it basically doesn't actually teach the language to the point where most people suggest the issue is trying to teach a 'dead' language rather than the fact that it's not given the resources it needs. at least schoolkids maybe learn some catchy songs? idk, that's just my observation from my daughter's education, i didn't experience it myself.
I did in high school and your assessment is correct. You learn some words but not even to the level of conversational stuff. It does have the problem of languages like Gaelic that were suppressed though industrialisation where modern terminology is hard to create, but like Gaelic it was never dead.
Key objective: casual everyday use in conversation...
