Olelo Hawaii in Kahana & Hauula: Stories with Keao NeSmith – Part 2
Aloha hou mai!
This week, we’re picking up right where we left off with my good friend, Dr. Keao NeSmith. In this episode, Keao invites us into the heart of Kahana Valley, sharing stories of his childhood, where he and his cousins played in the lush landscape. He also takes us to Hauula, where he immersed himself in the Hawaiian language while living with his grandmother, a native speaker who shaped much of his learning. To deepen the connection, Keao reads a heartfelt letter from her, written in Hawaiian. So sit back, listen closely, and enjoy this deep and insightful conversation.
For you olelo Hawaii teachers and students out there, I hope you will make use of this in your learning of the Hawaiian language. Keao was one of the few fortunate people of his generation that heard and learned Hawaiian from his grandparents generation who were native speakers. As we continue to learn and teach, we must take it upon ourselves to assimilate the speech of our kupuna who were native speakers.

In this video, I touch upon the reasons why I don’t use them when I write, and why I choose not to use them when teaching my students. There are many symbols for English that represent sounds made in that language. I encourage you to look into the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to learn ...

    I hear this split across Molokai where theyʻll either say it with or without the ʻokina. I think it was when it was put into writing it went through a lot of changes and the ʻokina got added. I donʻt remember it too well anymore though.

    This was very cool to see and hear. Although I lived in Hawaii for 22 years, I didn't hear Hawaiian spoken like this. Immersion schools were in their infancy at that time. Like most people, I learned specific Hawaiian words and phrases but not how to speak Hawaiian. If I can ever move back to the Islands, I think I would like to learn more olelo Hawaii. It is exciting to see the revival and perpetuation of the Hawaiian language, since it is so critical to the preservation of the Hawaiian culture. Without it Hawaii is not truly Hawaiian. It's just another beautiful place with some influences from a lost culture. What a shame it would be to lose such a rich and beautiful culture. Thank you for doing your part to keep it alive!🤙
