Great for grammar, not for vocabulary
The best feature of this book is the ability to explain Hawaiian grammar in easy to understand ways. Other language audiobooks pretty much ignore the grammar rules and expect you to pick them up from context, but this book is wonderfully different. The second best feature is that the book exists at all, since neither Pimsleur nor Rosetta carries Hawaiian as a language.
Unfortunately there are some downsides. The format does not work for me, since I listen to language tapes while driving and this programs requires a lot of pause and repeat. I am used to the Pimsleur approach of 30 minute lessons with a lot of repetition. This book is broken into chapters that are 0.5-5 minutes long, which makes it aggravating to keep track of where a lesson begins and ends. The vocabulary is odd, with a lot of obscure words (demigod, ancient times, etc) and no useful phrases (I would LOVE to know how to say " please repeat" or "How do you say...").
Ultimately I felt this was worth the money. I am using this audiobook while driving in conjunction with Duolingo during my lunch break to get an understanding of Hawaiian.
