Hoopilipili Olelo II: Hawaiian Language Crossword Puzzles, Word Search Puzzles, Change-a-Letter Puzzles, and Crossword Dictionary

by Georgiana R. Frayer-Luna

A Latitude 20 Book

Following on the success of the first volume, Ho'opilipili 'Olelo II provides Hawaiian language learners of all levels with an entertaining new array of puzzles. Crossword puzzles, change-a-letter puzzles, matching word puzzles, and word search puzzles—each designed to increase vocabulary and word usage—will give the crossword enthusiast a richer understanding of this living language. New thematic sections feature words that describe life in traditional Hawai'i, including the art and science of canoe building (ho'owa'a) and voyaging (huaka'i). The book also includes the popular "how to" section from the first volume (complete with blank puzzle forms), which shows readers how to create their own crossword puzzles.
