ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi - An Introduction to the Hawaiian Language
Language is a tool and a lens through which we can learn, interpret, and activate culture. Examine the rich history of the Hawaiian language and put the basics into practice using the pīʻapā (the Hawaiian alphabet) and tools such as the hakalama pronunciation drills. Normalizing the use of the Hawaiian language is a key component to creating authentic engagement experiences with our visitors and guests.
