Monthly Subscription

If you've ever wanted to learn Hawaiian but didn't know where to start, or you've been at it for a while and want something more structured, this is for you.

Every week I'll bring you a video lesson focused on something specific: pronunciation, word choice, phrases, or cultural nuances you won't find in a textbook. Each month you'll walk away with real, usable Hawaiian language that actually sticks.

Every Month You'll Receive:

  • 4 weekly video lessons
    • 1 bonus video at the end of the month
  • 12 usable phrases
    • with audio recordings of me speaking each one
  • A PDF of all the month's phrases to keep and reference

Who Is This For?

Whether you're a complete beginner or somewhere in the middle, Ka Punana was built with you in mind. No fluff, no filler. Just honest, consistent Hawaiian language content from someone who has spent years learning from native speakers.
