Hawaiian at Home

Maybe you're heard the term, "The Hawaiian Kingdom still exists." Maybe you thought the person saying that was crazy or delusional. Maybe you didn't know what they were really talking about. In this episode we interview Dr. Kalawaia Moore, who is an expert in Hawaiian History and Politics, about the Hawaiian Kingdom and its illegal overthrow. Dr. Moore explains to us how this history can have a huge outcome on Hawaii today.

This is a question we get asked and it opens up a great topic of discussion about the use of the language and the intentions behind those who want to learn and use it.

This episode talks about pushing your Hawaiian Language to the next level and ways you can keep moving forward.

This is a decision that every parent should make based on their situation. This is just our situation and why we decided to send our kids to a non-Hawaiian immersion school.

This episode Malu and I discuss happiness and how that makes all the difference in learning Hawaiian. Since learning Hawaiian is really a lifelong pursuit it matters that you're happy doing it! Tune in to see what we've experienced along the way and be sure to find us on social or leave us a review with your thoughts!

Have you ever heard, "it's easier to learn a language once you've learned a language."? Well in today's episode we'll discuss with you why we think that is and share with you tips on how to tap into this too.

This episode is a break from one Hawaiian at Home tradition in that it is in Hawaiian! In this episode I chat with my husband Malu about how I became an artist and the role that Hawaiian Language has played in our business.

This Episode with Haunani Miyasato from @kiikalophotography is full of fun ways to keep us going in learning Hawaiian even when we think we don't have time or can't do it.

Episode with guest Kalanikai Liana, who despite having lived in many places other than Hawaii, has kept immersing himself in the Language at every chance he gets.

We can always learn and help each other learn along this Hawaiian Language journey!

This is an interview that I was invited to do by Uilani on her podcast Beyond the Reef! Be sure to check out her podcast as she is on a mission to help women learn to control their finances and live where they want to call home!

You have to grow thick skin to olelo! Donʻt let others get to you with their words and actions.

We all come from different experiences yet we can rely on one another for help and encouragement while we learn. Being a single parent doesnʻt mean you canʻt raise your kids in Olelo. Here is how one mama does it.

Not everyone has the same story as Kayla in learning the language, but we all have the same choice to make. It is our choice to learn to speak and to teach our children. Letʻs choose to do both!

In this episode, I get to interview a local celebrity and favorite! Kumu Kahanuola from Ehoopilimai on Instagram. Join us as we learn more about his Hawaiian Language journey and the role Hawaiian has in his home today.

Aloha kakou! Itʻs me and Malu again bringing you some opinions while keeping it real (believe me I wish we could keep the realness in check more!). In this episode we answer a question that we were asked a while back about if we will be putting our kids into immersion schools. I should really say we scratch the surface rather than answer the question because the more we talked the more we had to share! Thanks for tuning in! Be sure to hit us up on Instagram to let us know your own thoughts and opinions!

Itʻs 2021 a new year filled with new goals, challenges, and opportunities.
