 Instant Immersion Hawaiian September 2, 2008
How wonderful this series has been in learning the native language of my ancestors. The description of the product led me to purchase and it has been most helpful. Arriving in fabulous order very quickly, I have thoroughly enjoyed learning! Thank you.
 I've yet to find a better HI language program, but... April 20, 2008

The fellow who is teaching is not a native speaker & mispronounces words. The printed material referred to on the DVD is a BIG help. I've found at least 1 error on the recording where they repeat 1 of the letter sounds in the alphabet. I've tried the program offered thru Univ of HI at Hilo (some lessons avail on Itues), but some of the printed material is no longer available.
very happy with my purchase October 1, 2007
I wasa very happy with the prompt service I received with you company and am aery happy with the product I purchased.

 Hawaiian Immersion CDs November 9, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This set of CDs is professionally developed and suitable for people who are committed to learning the language. It presents a broad range of vocabulary and the structure of the spoken Hawaiian and the translations is clear and easy to follow. What this course lacks is a written translation of what is in the CDs. People who have different learning styles therefore miss out on this extra support. Also missing are basic conversational structures that would allow the listeners to understand spoken Hawaiian "in the street" and begin to converse themselves.
