This document provides guidance on using Hawaiian dictionaries to learn Hawaiian vocabulary and discusses some challenges in directly translating between Hawaiian and English. It recommends the Pukui & Elbert and Māmaka Kaiao dictionaries and the online resource Ulukau.org. It cautions that some internet sources may be unreliable and emphasizes understanding words from a Hawaiian viewpoint as meanings do not always directly match between the two languages. Context is important, and the document encourages reviewing vocabulary lists, double checking meanings, and being patient when learning new vocabulary.
