Welcome to the first episode of Ka Leo ʻŌiwi, a Hawaiian language learning series. Join Hina, Pōmaikaʻi, and ʻIwalani as they practice ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, go on huakaʻi, and kanikapila with some of our favorite musicians! This first episode includes an introduction to the Pīʻāpā Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian alphabet); ʻOkina and Kahakō; Ka and Ke; and Kāhulu (descriptive words). This is an example of an approach to creating leanguage learning opportunities that can be accessed on-demand in the home on TV (for those in Hawaiʻi) or online. The 13-episode program also comes with leaning guides and sheets that viewers can download for free to use as the follow along with the "on-camera" learners.
