Intense
I actually like this CD series but it is VERY intense and I don't like that each CD has nothing to do with the prior CD and they are not related or review or even apply what you previously learned. Additionally after the 1st CD each one goes into a story, in Hawaiian, which I don't understand and they never translate.
Yes you can learn Hawaiian.
Excellent lesson plan. All you need is a long drive to work and back and you will be speaking Hawaiian in no time, effortlessly.
Great price for what you get, a little more challenging than expected
I ordered this CD set because I wanted a good, basic spoken Hawaiian intro. What I got was a little more challenging than what I expected. I am a relatively fluent in Spanish (a learned language, not my native tongue), and I can fake it when I'm traveling to other Romance-language countries (France, Italy), so I thought I could get the basics of another language down quickly via audio lessons. I had to listen to CD 1 and CD 2 about five times before I understood the lessons. This could be due to the fact that the CDs don't really provide grammar basics (or it could be my aging brain has lost some ability to memorize quickly). Regardless, the narrators were clear and their Hawaiian pronunciation seems authentic, so I am learning from the CDs during my driving commute. I have moved on to the next few CD's, and I have since found a book of grammar basics and a dictionary which I'll review in order to round out my language learning. For the price of the set, I still think it was a worthwhile purchase.
