My Drops #streak is unbroken for the month of March! Yes technically it’s a 1388-day streak overall, but usually my monthly calendar has a green lighting bolt on one or two (or 3 or 4) of the days, meaning I used a “streak rescue.” #languageDrops #languageLearning

Kūlanakauhale == town
This is one of my Drops vocabulary words, which I have trouble with (such a long word!) Duolingo uses kaona. #hwotd #hawaiianWordOfTheDay #town #languageDrops #duolingo #HPR #HawaiianPublicRadio #LeilaniPoliʻahu

I used the term “ʻĀina Pākē” in my Hawaiian class and kumu said that is fine if you want to say “the land of the Chinese” but if you want to say “China” the name of the country is “Kina.” #languageDrops has taught me “ʻĀina Pākē” while #uTalk teaches “Kina” — l just lost another unit of trust in Drops :blobcatangery: #ŌleloHawaiʻi #ʻōlelo #hawaiʻi #OleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #olelo #hawaii

In Hawaiian there’s also rules about whether to use “ka” or “ke” for “the,” and similarly there are exceptions. For example since “ʻeke” starts with the letter ʻokina, it ought to use “ka” but it actually uses “ke” instead. It would be nice if Drops also was able to help drill the correct article to use in Hawaiian! (3/3)

In Spanish there are exceptions to the rule of thumb that if it ends in the letter “o”, it uses “el”, for example, it’s “la mano” not “el mano.”

I started the Spanish course in Drops and noticed that it includes the definite article with each noun, for example “el pan” (literally, “the bread”). This is helpful for the language learner because in Spanish “the” depends on the “gender” of the noun. However, the Hawaiian course doesn’t show the associated definite article.

Exciting news, yesterday the Drops app added a new feature, Language Voyage exercises. This path gives more challenging lessons with the existing vocabulary offerings. Also adds listening exercises on the matching page. Fun! A little buggy: the paint buckets that represent colors, don’t have color… if they show two buckets, you have a 50-50 chance of success, which is quite sub-optimal given they’ve introduced Duolingo-style “hearts” into this path :blobcatpat: #languageDrops #duolingo

About a month ago I posted that I had 1,390 Hawaiian words in Drops, but now it says 1,389. I am now making backwards progress LOL. What I think happened is that I flagged a word with an incorrect spelling, and so it automatically removed that word from my list? #drops #OleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #olelo #hawaii

I don’t have any more words to learn in the Drops Hawaiian course, so I guess they currently have 1,390 words in the course! #OleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #olelo #hawaii

Nā ʻaʻahu apau == wardrobe, as in your collection of clothing. There’s a different phrase for wardrobe as a piece of furniture, which is keʻena waihona ʻaʻahu. The #Drops vocabulary building app has a cartoon of the furniture to go with the phase for your clothing collection. I just noticed this morning that the #Hawaiian phrase glosses as “all the clothes” and I got suspicious… a quick trip to Wehewehe confirmed it. #languageDrops

Here’s screenshot! It asks you questions and gives you an assortment of words in the target language to select as a response. It’s a little more difficult than the usual picture-matching drills so it makes a great learning tool. #OleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #olelo #hawaii #languageDrops

Yippee! The #Hawaiian unit in (#languageLearning app) Drops just got upgraded with their groovy “quiz” feature that the other languages have had for a while. I love it! :ablobcatheart: #languageDrops https://dropsapp.page.link/a7GT

Here’s the before and after #languageDrops #glyphs for a couple of #Hawaii’s #volcanoes, #Kilauea and #MaunaLoa. A brightly colored state flag has been added, and the shapes of the mountains have changed quite a bit.

Here’s the before and after #languageDrops #glyphs for #kukui — the #candlenut. Nice improvement over the original, with shading and the #botanical style cutaway showing the double nut inside.
-
Here’s the before and after #languageDrops #glyphs for #Kalua #Pig — this one is great improvement, the original could be any kind of sloppy sandwich, while the new one is specifically shredded pork.

Excitement at #languageDrops, they dropped a bunch of picture updates in the #Hawaiian #language course! A month ago I grabbed some screenshots like the one below of the #humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa and I would like to share side by side with the updated versions! The humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa picture is hardly different at all, but some of the other ones are much improved.

#languageDrops has “pou kuhi ʻaoʻao” for “direction post” which is probably a better description of the photo
