I am supposed to teach my Cubscouts the "Law" in Hawaiian. I have the words, but am unsure of the pronounciation. Anybody here care to help me out ?

I don't know, but if you'll pay my way to Hawaii I'll gladly find out for you. :)

Maybe you could do a search for some Hawaiian message boards and ask a true Hawaiian native? :)

My husband can speak Hawaiian, but he's at work right now. If you don't find anyone that can help you, you can PM me and I'll see if he can help you.

I do not speak Hawaiian either...but why do you have to teach it to them in another language?
I thought they had to learn the law and reasons in English (or primary language) for Scouting.
Is it for a skit?

Did you find anyone to translate yet?? I have a friend I'm sure would translate it and email it to me. He is Hawaiian and is currently living on Maui.

We lived in Hawaii for 3 years and know a little Hawaiian. They speak English but they do have their own language also. I've got a little book somewhere that tells about the Hawaiian language, I'll try to find it. When do you need this information by?

Yes - it is for a skit. I have the translation - and fond that I can not pronounce the words. My only exposure to the Hawaiian language has been "Lilo & Stitch" :rolleyes: "Ohana means family" :)

The boys already know it in English - I was hoping to find someone who could record the words for the boys to hear how it should be spoken. Otherwise who knows what we might be saying ? :p
