Hawaii, the fiftieth state, is one of the world's most popular destinations for travel, boasting over 7 million visitors each year. The population is enormously proud of the state's ancestral heritage, a pride reflected in the ubiquity of cultural artefacts and traditions as well as native Hawaiian's status with English as one of the state's two official languages. This unique dictionary and phrasebook offers an excellent introduction to Hawaiian words and phrases, with sections devoted to basic greetings, food and drink, weather, and assorted cultural activities. It is an ideal companion for vacationers and others interested in traditional Hawaiian culture.
