About your host

Ian

 



 

I am a kanaka (Hawaiian) and a proud graduate of the prestigious Kamehameha Schools. I continued my studies at the University of Hawaii. E ola ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi. The Hawaiian language lives on!



What we'll do


Learn the basics of ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language). We will cover nā pīʻāpā (the alphabets), pronunciation, and common phrases. We will also learn a very simple oli (chant) and cross examine similarities between the Hawaiian language and other Polynesian languages (i.e., Tahitian, Maori, Samoan, etc...)



What I'll provide


Pen and paper.

What to bring


Pen and paper.


What else you should know


Dress comfortably for a mix of hot and chilly weather. Have questions? Contact host.

Where you'll be

Take in the beautiful scenery as we gather along the slopes of 'E'eka (the west Maui mountains). Breathtaking views of both the mountain and the sea.
