Her roomie was from the Big Island, and she spent most weekends with her roomie and her family in South Kona. She was more into local life than even she realized. After her first year, we were all together in Massachusetts in a car when a Hawaiian song came on the radio. She started translating it for us.
Of the three languages offered at her school, she chose French, which she had studied in Germany (the other two were Spanish and Hawaiian). I said, "I thought you didn't speak Hawaiian." she retorted, "'I don't, but ANYbody can understand THAT much!" Yeah, anyone but her stupid parents who did NOT understand that much. You need some kind of dedication to learn a language in which the state fish is a Humuhumunukunukuapua'a.
