It's important to note that the pronunciation of Hawaiian words can be tricky. Here are some tips:
* Vowels: The vowels are pronounced like in Spanish:
* "a" like "ah" in father
* "e" like "eh" in bet
* "i" like "ee" in see
* "o" like "oh" in go
* "u" like "oo" in moon
* Consonants: Most consonants are pronounced like in English, with a few exceptions:
* "ʻ" (okina) is a glottal stop, like the sound at the beginning of "uh-oh"
* "h" is a breathy "h" sound
* "w" is pronounced like "v" in English
Remember to practice the pronunciation of these words to ensure you're saying them correctly!
