Kīpaepae: Hawaiian Language

With over 400 vocabulary words and illustrations, 700 practice sentences, 100 everyday phrases, multiple reading and listening comprehension exercises and over 20 read along books, ‘Aha Pūnana Leo’s Kīpaepae app was designed to be used as a supplement to our in-person Hui Kīpaepae ‘ohana classes or as a standalone practice tool for any learner of ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i.

The app features mini-lessons, practice exercises and quizzes with personal stats tracking streaks and points earned along with a leaderboard for our Pūnana Leo and community members. Choose a male or female voice to help you work through the practice exercises.

This app was created to provide our Pūnana Leo parents with a strong foundation from which they can build upon to increase the possibility that ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i will become the primary language of communication within the ‘ohana over the course of their child’s K-12 Hawaiian Medium Education (HME) school career.

Certain functions like the Leaderboard requires an internet connection.
