Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi

Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi means "Hawaiian Language Month," which is celebrated in February to promote and encourage the use of the Hawaiian language. It was officially designated by Act 28 in 2013 to honor and revitalize Hawaiian culture and language.

I got through all the Duolingo lessons but don't have anyone to practice with.
Tried taking an online class but it was full of leftists who can't stop talking propaganda.
It would be really nice to have someone to practice with who isn't a UH looney toon.

OTOH that philosophy also led to us giving half our money to demon worshipping cannibal pedophiles.

My Tutu was pure and could speak.
But rarely ever did. My Mom never did either, thus I never did.
I think it was forbidden when my Mom was growing up.
My Mom spoke perfect proper english and could type faster than most people today.
She had a column in the newspaper too.

It would be nice if they brought back all the Hawaiian newspapers. Apparently there were hundreds of them at one point and Hawaii had the most literate population on the planet.
