Aloha no kakou ! E komo mai e 'ai! Aloha, everyone. Welcome to
HAWAIIAN-ENGLISH GLOSSARY 127 our home! Come in and eat with us! It is this traditional Hawaiian
welcome that we would like to extend to our readers as we welcome
ENGLISH-HAWAIIAN GLOSSARY 137 yo u to our language , the heart and "home " of our culture. We wish
to " fee d " yo u with knowledge and aloha, so that your love for the
Hawaiian culture may always grow. We hope that this book will
stimulate yo u to seek more knowledge of our language and to play
your part in the revival of our beloved 'olelo Hawai'i.
The idea for this book arose from our awareness as Hawaiian lan-
guage teachers of the many people who are interested in studying the
language, but who must work full time and have difficulty in attend-
ing night classes. We then thought of visitors or people living outside
of Hawai'i who might also be interested in a brief introduction to the
language. Since it is not easy to find p laces to listen to Hawaiian,
even in Hawai'i, we decided that recorded lessons would be a good
way for students to gain feeling for Hawaiian intonation, pronuncia-
tion and phrasing.
This book is designed, then, as a brief introduction to the language

with an emphasis on oral/aural learning. We feel that listening and
spea king are of crucial importance to language learning. Thus , each
hapter begins and ends with a variety of listening and speaking
exercises .
THE ORAL WORK SECTION
The first section of each chapter has four parts: the Hakalama pro-
nunciation chart, Vocabulary and Useful Phrases , then Dialogs ,
which give a preview of the grammar the chapter will deal with. All
four parts are recorded so that you may listen to each part as often as
you like. We also encourage you to practice saying each part of sec-
tion one out loud.
Hawaiian pronunciation and spelling
Section one of each chapter begins with a variation of the Hakalama

chart for pronunciation practice. The standard Hakalama chart, as
presented in Chapter One, is a syllabic chart that originated in the
earl y primers printed by the missionaries who taught Hawaiian
adults to read and write in Hawaiian in the 1830s, '40s and '5 0s. If
You read the chart from left to right, the first four syllables are ha, ka,

II. GRAMMAR SECTION
a. '0 wai kou inoa: What's your name?

Greeting someone, saying aloha, is important in Hawaiian culture. If
you do not first exchange greetings, you are not being polite. Again
for politeness, you then ask how the person you've just greeted feels
today. When meeting someone new, you sh ould be polite and not ask
his or her name until you have first greeted that person and asked
how he or she is. Then you are ready to learn how to ask what's your
name?
'0 wai kou inoa? What's your name?

'0 Kalei ko'u inoa. Kalei is my name.

Conclusion
Aloha hou mai! Pehea ka 'ai 'ana? Ua ma'ona? Hello again! How
was the Hawaiian "meal" you just finished? Are you full of Hawaiian
or did you just have a "light snack"? Do you realize that the five basic
sentence patterns we have taught you are the basic patterns used in
most spoken Hawaiian? If you know how to use '0 identification ,
Aia, He pattern, Action and Description sentences, you should be
able to carry on a simple Hawaiian conversation and continue to
speak to people as you learn new words.
