Hawaiian Tutor

Starting with a dictionary from http://hawaiian-words.com, Hawaiian Tutor vocabulary builder uses sophisticated adaptive algorithms that teach you more efficiently than a human tutor can. The interface is a very simple multiple choice flashcard design and its goal is to neither frustrate nor bore you. It does this by quickly adapting to your particular strength, progress and attention at the moment. Words need to be presented with just the right frequency to reinforce your memory. The power of the Tutor engine therefore becomes apparent over time. You should therefore not judge it until you have used it for 10 minutes at least.
The most important words will tend to be presented first because, well, they're important. Hawaiian Tutor will quickly zero in on the most important words for *you
* to learn at each moment. It may seem too easy or too hard at first but just keep going and you will see that Hawaiian Tutor will quickly find the right balance that maximizes your learning regardless of your current knowledge, ability, and state of mind at the moment.

Note that it is important to make mistakes because no learning can happen without them. When you get words wrong, Hawaiian Tutor is also learning about you and what you most need to learn at every moment and will bring missed words back more frequently. That is a good thing because you want troublesome words to come back frequently enough for you to easily get them right. Therefore try not to feel disappointed when you get a word wrong. Instead, mentally pat yourself on the back because this is where the learning happens. Remember, this is not a test! It is a safe opportunity to take chances and improve your instant recognition of the words that will greatly improve your command of the Hawaiian language.

Hawaiian Tutor is best used during short periods while waiting for a bus, class, etc. It includes a very high quality vocabulary containing nearly 800 carefully chosen words in the Hawaiian language.

Have had this app for about 3 years and am a 3rd year 'Olelo Hawai'i haumana at UH West O'ahu... and sorely lack vocabulary definition and conotation skills... at download, "HI tutor" was supposed to have a vocab of 800 words... My haole brain knew it would be easy, only 800 words... my na'au sat quietly knowing I would recognize my ARROGANCE about my excellent skill with grammar and structure... eventually... Played w/HI tutor for 3 years... still do not know all 800 words...

With me being native Hawaiian , I'm wanting to learn the native tongue this didn't help at all I already know what the words mean. I just have a hard time pronouncing them and I thought this app would be able to help but it didn't. Didn't even teach you anything, just gives you a word and five other words to guess what it could be. I'm very disappointed I was hoping for something much better.

This is basically flash cards. I don't know how to pronounce the letters. I'm trying to learn to speak, not write, the language. I wish there was an audio portion to pronounce the words that appear. The app is still helpful and one of the best ones there is. I just don't see me being able to learn how to speak without hearing the words.

Cant pronounce the words, its just like flashcards basically, and if your starting how are you supposed to know what it means if your new to the language

This might be a good review tool for some, but as far as learning a language goes, much more than multiple choice flashcards are needed.

It's really good works EXTREMELY well with and without wifi. I just wish it had Audio then it would be PERFECT.

It's a very good app but it's only extremely helpful if you already know the Hawaiian language. But if your trying to learn and you have no experience with Hawaiian it can be very difficult. Great app but if it could pronounce the words it would totally be 5 stars. Great App👍

I always get excited with anything that has to do with Hawaii and I really enjoy this app... Didn't realise how much of the language I already knew till I got this... Yay!

If you need somebody to pronounce these words, I can. I am not a native speaker, but I lived in hawaii, and can pronounce hawaiian words. Let me know.

sev. m. Sep 3, 2015     

Its really helpful but all I'm able to do is read and understand. I can't speak it since the app doesn't help with pronunciation. Please make that possible in the next update.

All you need to know is how to pronounce the vowels and you'll be able to pronounce any word...there actually a you tube video by an online hawaiian instructor that teaches you the alphabet and how to pronounce the vowels...

A. G. u. Oct 25, 2012

The moment I saw that kama'aina was translated into 'island native' is when i realized that it needed work.

I am not from Hawaii but my aunt is and that's where I learned to surf. And she doesn't know how to speak Hawaiian either. So... It's fun to learn. Thank you!

Len. R. Oct 1, 2015
