Product Description
Kaliko Beamer-Trapp and his female partner, Kiele Akana-Gooch, act as guides in this surprisingly well-done language program, which presents the history, culture, place names, and music of the Hawaiian Islands, as well as the language. Lessons cover the Hawaiian phonetic system, basic greetings, pronouns, verb usage, a variety of vocabulary areas, and Hawaiian syntax. Kaliko and Kiele read the sample dialogues, giving the listener the chance to hear male and female voices in action. The 8-disc program is also loaded with stories told in Hawaiian, which will help the listener gain an ear for the language. As obscure as the Hawaiian language may seem to some, INSTANT IMMERSION HAWAIIAN demonstrates language learning--and teaching--at its best. Mahalo! Instant Immersion Hawaiian on 8 audio compact discs, you will bask in the language, culture, and spirit of Hawaii, providing proficiency and insights you can use on the beach or in the boardroom.

 Instant Immersion Hawaiian September 2, 2008
Mindi Schrum (Farmington, NM)
How wonderful this series has been in learning the native language of my ancestors. The description of the product led me to purchase and it has been most helpful. Arriving in fabulous order very quickly, I have thoroughly enjoyed learning! Thank you.
 I've yet to find a better HI language program, but... April 20, 2008

The fellow who is teaching is not a native speaker & mispronounces words. The printed material referred to on the DVD is a BIG help. I've found at least 1 error on the recording where they repeat 1 of the letter sounds in the alphabet. I've tried the program offered thru Univ of HI at Hilo (some lessons avail on Itues), but some of the printed material is no longer available.
very happy with my purchase October 1, 2007

The tapes are very easy to learn from. You will not begin to speak immediately but with time and continuous review you will pick it up. Very Helpful
 Hawaiian Immersion CDs November 9, 2006

This set of CDs is professionally developed and suitable for people who are committed to learning the language. It presents a broad range of vocabulary and the structure of the spoken Hawaiian and the translations is clear and easy to follow. What this course lacks is a written translation of what is in the CDs. People who have different learning styles therefore miss out on this extra support. Also missing are basic conversational structures that would allow the listeners to understand spoken Hawaiian "in the street" and begin to converse themselves.
