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

Hawaiian word for the day— cauliflower! According to Drops, it is kāpiki pua! But— (1/3) #languageDrops #hwotd #hawaiianWordOfTheDay #OleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #hawaiian #cauliflower

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)

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
