ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi

Aloha friends! If you are interested in learning Hawaiian, I highly recommend Ka Alala ‘s online course. I think it’s the best if you want to get thinking and speaking in the language.

And then I recommend listening to real people talking to it, through podcasts or little social media snippets! I have a personal preference to the Niihau Dialect as it is the dialect of Hawaiian that never died out (the people of Niihau still speak it as their primary language). I have a little glossary Iʻm building in the link below!

Here are some of my favorite Niihau creators online:

• Leo Kuahiwi on Instagram

• Tita Myrah on Tiktok

• Slater Aiwohi on Tiktok

That’s it for now.. mahalo :) and DM me any questions @javaislandboy
