Anoʻai me ke aloha!  This Summer Kaimukī Public Library is offering a Basic Hawaiian Language class for those interested in learning ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi in a fun and engaging way.  This class taught by Librarian Moki Renti Cruz will incorporate Hawaiian songs as a tool to help build vocabulary and understand sentence structure.  No prior music experience needed.

Did you know that before the Hawaiian language was first printed in the 1820s, it was passed down orally for generations? It’s a rich and beautiful tradition we are excited to share with you!

This class is recommended for youth ages 13 and up.  Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

To register for this program please sign up at the Adult Reference Desk or give us a call at: (808)733-8422. For more information please contact our library at: (808)733-8422.

Please don’t wait to register, as we are limiting the class size to 20 individuals. 

E ola mau ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi!
