Kailoa is my name. I live in Kentucky, however, Hawai'i is the land that I love most. I first visited Hawai‘i in the year 1967. I lived in Hawai‘i at that time between the years 1967 and 1970 during my time in the United States Navy. I revisited Hawai‘i in 1981 and 2006. I really love everything Hawaiian, the music and hula, the stories, the land, the mountains, the beaches and everything in between. And I love the Hawaiian language. I am a student of Hawaiian language in the Hawaiian class at Niuolahiki at http://ahapunanaleo.org/niuolahiki/. I have a question: Is there a a page at this site for practicing the mother tongue of the Hawaiian people and student of Hawaiian? I think this would be a good thing.
Mahalo me ko‘u aloha pumehana,
Na Kailoa
