If you are too busy to enroll in classes or even if you just want to brush up on what you learned, Duolingo is an accessible resource. “This course is not about replacing classes it’s about making olelo Hawaii more accessible. “Our language is our foundation, but it is also the language of this land, and everyone, Hawaiian or not, can connect to the aina more deeply through it,” said Keiki Kawaiʻaeʻa, a Hawaiian language expert with Kanaeokana, in a news release. Since there are relatively few speakers of Hawaiian, Kanaeokana, a network of more than 50 Hawaiian culture-based schools and educational groups, and Kamehameha Schools, brought together a group of Hawaiian-language specialists to work on the initial set of content on Duolingo. Hawaiian is one of the state of Hawaii’s two official languages, along with English. The Hawaiian language, or olelo Hawaii course was symbolically launched Monday, which some cities observed as Indigenous Peoples Day, in tandem with Navajo, at an event at Salt Kakaako. Hawaiian, one of Hawaii’s official languages, is now available as a course on Duolingo, a popular education platform available online and as an app.
