The following link goes to whatever the word for the specific day is:

Which is the same as the orginal link today April 2nd, but obviously will be different each day.
There are 210 pages altogether for this part of the site.

Once I have some vocabulary memorized I will start to look at the grammer. My only resources right now are a grammar book, a dictionary, a eight CDs.
Perhaps when I have learned something I will come back here to see if I can say a few things.
I hope that there will always be some interest here in Hawaiian.

Yes I am using the instant immersion CDs; I find them good for practicing saying words
and to get an accurate pronunciation, although I am not always 100% sure of the difference
between a short vowel and a long vowel or how to pronounce an okina at the beginning of a word.
I know that both are important when one or both of them are the only thing that differentiates certain words.
The two books I have are
Elbert and Pukui's dictionary:

and
Ka Lei Ha'aheo by Alberta Pualani Hopkins:

Actually when I said "grammar book" I meant "textbook". I was thinking of it as a grammar book
because it explains the grammar, but obviously "textbook" is the correct word.
