Book Reviews of Illustrated Hawaiian Dictionary (Hawaiian Edition)
Book Review: The DEFINITIVE Hawaiian book!
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS IS A FUN BOOK! I've been teaching myself Hawaiian for 3 years (you'll find my Amazon reviews for the books I used) and have at times been frustrated with the very limited scope of each resource.
This book has ERADICATED my frustration! It's truly an answer to my prayers.
DOWNSIDE: None.
UPSIDE: Here's a list:
1. The Hawaiian-English section uses a Hawaiian-cultural standpoint as basis.
2. The English-Hawaiian section uses a Western-cultural standpoint as basis.
3. There are over 5,000 entries in Hawaiian and English.
4. Most of the words are used in actual, modern sentences.
5. There are literally thousands of such useful sentences.
6. Words with multiple meanings are explained.
7. Every type of sentence structure is here.
8. There are wonderful line drawings.
9. A lot of the sentences are colorful: "While she was driving, her tears fell."
10. A lot of the sentences are topical: "The Hawaiian race has known the pain of injustice".
11. There are 448 pages.
12. It's pocket-sized.
13. It makes Hawaiian an accessible, flexible and LIVING language.
14. All this for only $9.95.
If you're learning Hawaiian and have gotten through the elementals, this book will take you upward and onward, and you'll have a lot of fun in the process! I've been reading mine daily, and I never fail to find something useful, interesting and fun. I wish I could give this book 20 stars.
