ʻŌlelo Hawai‘i Learning • Kulāiwi & Beyond
HawaiianGoodness is a YouTube channel devoted to gathering and curating the best resources for learning ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, especially for beginner and intermediate learners. They highlight beloved programs such as Kulāiwi, hosted by ‘Ekela Kanī‘aupi‘o Crozier, and refine them for modern learners.
What They Offer
- Community & Support — Though not kumu themselves, the creators acknowledge their role as haumāna, speaking truth through their learning journey
- Curated Kulāiwi Lessons — Streamlined, edited lessons from Crozier’s Kulāiwi series (24 lessons total) with updated formatting for clarity and ease.
- 30-Day Learning Schedule — A guided path to build conversational fluency using free lessons and structured pacing
- Advanced Materials — Interviews, music videos with subtitles, tutorials with native speakers (mānaleo), and cultural content to deepen understanding
Why We Honor Them
ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi is more than grammar—it’s identity, connection, and survival. HawaiianGoodness helps make that connection accessible and living. By highlighting Kulāiwi and weaving in mānaleo voices, the channel helps bridge generations, revitalize language use, and give learners a respectful, grounded path forward.
