ʻŌlelo|Online is a website where you can learn Hawaiian language at your own pace. Video lessons are given in plain English language in a "pen and blackboard" format, with accompanying documentation. There are also audio samples for you to listen to to test your comprehension and practice your pronunciation.
Described in the videos are the Hawaiian grammatical structures and their relationships to English grammar. You will also learn about Hawaiian culture and how the language carries cultural understandings which can help inform learners who may not be familiar with the Hawaiian culture or the "local" culture here in the Islands.
If you are a first-time visitor, please take a look around! If you would like to help support ʻŌlelo Online, I think you will find the cost of membership very reasonable: 20 cents a day, or $5.99 a month. Various membership subscriptions are available, including quarterly and full-year subscriptions.
Enjoy the free content found in the Books, Homework, Lessons, and Video areas, above. Most textual content is free, but membership is required for the videos and audio files. Your support allows me to make and serve this content to you. Feel free to if you have any questions or comments.
Members may login using the LOGIN found menu on every page.
