Hawaiian language immersion

Hawaiian language immersion is an educational approach where students learn primarily in the Hawaiian language, fostering fluency and cultural understanding. This method uses Hawaiian as the medium of instruction across various subjects, often starting from preschool or elementary levels. The goal is to revitalize and maintain the language by immersing learners in its vocabulary, grammar, and cultural context, thereby ensuring its continuation for future generations. This immersion supports linguistic proficiency and cultural identity, empowering students to become fluent speakers while deepening their connection to Hawaiian heritage.
