Totally Amazing Learn-Hawaiian-By-Distance-Learning Video from 1994. I watched Lesson One, which plays in RealPlayer (
low and
high bandwidth).
The kumu (teacher), a joyous woman who makes me want to move to Hawaii tomorrow, is the probably the greatest TV teacher I've ever seen: she's right here! She's so close to us! She is also one of the happiest people I've ever seen, and radiates energy.

She gives deep, wonderful over-the-air advice to a guy who wants to know where the 'okinas go, and even offers to "talk story off the air about that".
There's even a delightful video vignette featuring an auntie and a grandma which is deconstructed, and by the end of the video you'll be greeting people!
Each lesson is an hour, and it's all shot with proto-Powerpoint, as in printed pieces of paper which often fill the whole screen.
I hope you can get as much aloha spirit out of this as I did!
