‘Ōlelo ʻŌiwi: Hawaiian Language Fundamentals is a clear and easy-to-use text for beginning Hawaiian language learners as well as for more advanced students who wish to review—or even expand—their knowledge of basic fundamentals. Grammatical structures are thoroughly explained in nontechnical language with simple elements taught first and then used as building blocks to facilitate mastery of more difficult patterns. Vocabulary and practice activities relate to practical everyday situations.

Each chapter also includes information on proper pronunciation and cultural usage of the language, enabling the learner to acquire a deeper appreciation of the intricacies and uniqueness of Hawaiian, the living native language of our island home.

Drafts of the text were extensively tested in both high school and community college classes before first publication in 1994. This new edition, which has been completely reformatted and updated, also includes additional information about language usage, especially as heard among native speakers on Kauaʻi and Niʻihau.

ʻŌlelo ʻŌiwi was originally envisioned as a high school textbook, so the general perspective of practice exercises tends toward relevance to teenagers. Subsequent use of the text in community college, university, adult education, and even hālau hula and kūpuna classes, however, has shown it to be an effective means for learning Hawaiian in a variety of venues, including self instruction.

About the Author
Hōkūlani Cleeland currently serves as secondary teacher, language consultant, editor in chief for curriculum materials, and governing board member at Ke Kula Niʻihau O Kekaha Learning Center, a public charter school located on Kauaʻi whose primary mission is to help perpetuate the Niʻihau dialect of the Hawaiian language. He is also a registered court interpreter for Niʻihau Hawaiian.

As one of the founders of ʻAha Pūnana Leo, Cleeland first began serving the Niʻihau community in 1983 and has been with the present program educating Niʻihau youth since 1995. Prior to that, he spent many years as a full-time teacher at Kauaʻi High School and as a part-time lecturer in Hawaiian language at Kauaʻi Community College. As a member of Kōmike Huaʻōlelo, the Hawaiian Lexicon Committee, he was lead editor for Māmaka Kaiao: A Modern Hawaiian Vocabulary.

glossy finish for faded black plastics
Size: TRIM COAT KIT
I have already used this product before and the results were very nice. If you don't mind a glossy finish, this product will bring those old black plastics back to life. You get several mess free applicators in the box. The product dries quickly and will last about a year or so, in my experience.

Easy to apply to clean dry surfaces
Size: TRIM COAT KIT
Seems to work very well. Made the plastic trim and MIC hardtop on my Bronco look like new. After the two hour cure time it drys hard to touch. Not sure how long it lasts yet.

Why It’s "Pretty Good for the Price"
Style: Trim & Plastic Restorer, 12 fl. oz.
1. Instant Visual Impact The biggest "wow" factor is how quickly it transforms chalky, sun-bleached gray trim back to a rich, factory-new black. It works exceptionally well on bumpers, window seals, side-view mirrors, and even windshield wiper arms. 2. Ease of Use Unlike professional ceramic trim restorers that require surgical-level surface prep, this is a simple "massage in, buff off" liquid. Massage it in: Use a microfiber or foam applicator to work the product into the pores of the plastic. Buff it dry: This step is crucial to prevent the "streaking" that some users complain about after a rainstorm. 3. Deep Cleaning Ability A unique feature of this formula is its ability to remove white wax stains. If you’ve ever accidentally gotten car wax on your black plastic trim, you know it's nearly impossible to remove—this restorer dissolves those stubborn white marks effectively.
