Olelo Hawaii
In ancient Hawaii, our professions might have varied, yet a common thread united us all: the Hawaiian language spoken by all.
Start Learning
Which class should you take?
I offer two self-guided online courses, but you may not know which is best for you. The following assessment was made to help you find that out. I'll make it simple for you.
- If you don't meet the assessment criteria, I recommend enrolling in Mahele 1: Foundational Hawaiian.
- If you successfully navigate the assessment, take on Mahele 2: Building Fluency Through Hawaiian Expression.
"Malu has been an invaluable resource on my olelo Hawaii journey. He encouraged me to seek out native speakers, to read newspaper articles, to speak as much as I could even if I didn't speak perfectly, and to never stop learning. I am grateful for his encouragement, support, and all the time he gave me so I could progress and continue on my olelo journey."
