Reviews: Review by Vivki Viotti The Honolulu Advertiser August 13 2001 Bilingual Books a Seattle publisher has put out its Language Map laminated folding phrasebook for travelers - in 11 tongues. Company chief Kris Kershul loves Hawaii but did a double take when Buddy Bess of Honolulus Bess Press suggested one in Hawaiian. They speak English here dont they? Well yes but Hawaiian is an official language too and Lilinoe Andrews with years of experience in publishing Hawaiian-language books for the Hawaiian immersion program saw a way to reach both tourists and residents with such a product. Thats why Hawaiian: A Language Map is missing phrases like How much is a mai tai? Instead collaboration between Kershul and Andrews has resulted in a glossary of words important in Hawaiian culture terms on family relationships and the environment. It should be helpful to language students and should tip off visitors that theres more to the language than aloha mahalo lei and luau as important as these things are.
