I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook, beautifully read by Mapuana Makia, and I was delighted that the author drops a lot of ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi into the prose. And I was tickled that I detected one grammatical error: when the kumu hula asks “Ua maopopo iā ʻoe?” (“Did you understand?”) she should have used ʻoukou (plural form) rather than ʻoe (singular) since she’s addressing the entire class. #jasminIolaniHakes
