Reddit mentions of Da Word

Hi!

Thanks for links and the informed response.

Yeah, I fall into the Language Geek category (I'm coming to study Linguistics) and look at learning Hawaiian as a chance to learn about the system of the language in comparison to other languages, since I have basically zero knowledge of Polynesian languages, and as a chance to learn and experience the culture.

The Pidgin website is quite useful. It gives me a starting point for trying to get an idea of what I'm likely to hear. Pidgin, as a creole language, is also very interesting to me coming from a linguistics background.

I've seen Da Jesus Book before, but I'm not religious and I'm not really interested in using it as a resource, unless there's nothing else. I saw Da Word on Amazon, but I don't know if it's any good. I'll definitely have to check out the Kumu Kahua Theatre when I get there. I see they have a prize for writing a play, so I might consider entering next year if I get inspired.

I'm just really excited that I'll have new languages buzzing around me, and I made this thread so I could start collecting information about everything.
