If you are one of those people who learn the best through music, this is the perfect course for you.
Research has found that those who are engaged in language learning are also generally musical people. I have personal experience in this field.
My personal experience:
I was learning Spanish in school, I had been learning it for a few years and had difficulties remembering new words and phrases. However, one day our teacher handed us a paper with the lyrics of a Spanish song. We translated it all together and then listened to the song, and I realised I remembered most of it.
After this, I started to learn all languages of interest this way.
Therefore, I feel confident telling you that this is a very useful and helpful way to learn the Hawaiian language as well.
In this course we will cover several Hawaiian songs by different singers.
Examples of songs:
E O Mai
Nani Ke Aloha
Ka Lei Mo'i
Pua Hinano
No Luna I Ka Halekai No ka Ma'alewa
Ka Lehua I Milia
I truly hope you will enjoy this course, as it also takes you on a journey to experience the Hawaiian music.
Let's all take the time to start this journey and learn a new wonderful language together!
