Book Reviews of Learn Hawaiian at Home with Cassette(s)
Book Review: A Children's Book
Summary: 1 Stars
This book insulted my intelligence. It is so elementary that only a five year old would think it is advanced. It spends pages focusing on miniscule and practically useless attributes (such as announcers), rather than the important and meaningful ones (such as dual pronouns, and the o-class and a-class possession). Although it does touch on most elements of the language, it is very vague on every subject.The worst part of all is that it over-complicates grammar. For instance, Wight spends chapters explaining how to structure phrases, all of which I could completely summarize in a single sentence. Then it provides merely one vague sentence to explain a concept that should take several pages to relate. Except for the vocabulary, this book is just like taking a memo-note and stretching it into an entire novel.
Using this book as a foundation only got me more confused. If you buy this package, do it only for the cassete tapes, and burn the book!
