In case it's not clear, I'm learning Hawaiian. \0/ I've heard that keeping a journal is one of the best ways to learn a language, hence me writing in Hawaiian. If anyone is interested in learning Hawaiian as well, Duolingo has a course that can get you started (helped along by the fact that Hawaiian isn't complicated when it comes to grammar or having to conjugate verbs) and Ulukau has dictionaries, books in Hawaiian and English at different reading levels, recordings of interviews with native speakers (started by Larry Kimura, if anyone listened to that recent Code Switch episode), and more. All of these resources are free!
Because Hawaiian is an endangered language, dictionaries can be lacking in places due to age so I'm not sure I used the correct terms for episode / airs? I took a stab! I'm glad I at least have "tv show" from Duolingo. I'm still figuring out compound sentences, so I'm not sure I joined that first sentence right. More reading is required!
