My name is Bart. I just joined, live in NYC, moving to Hawaii late September. I've read about Hawaii's history for years, always fascinated, but never been. I just bought an 8 cd set of Hawaiian language (not pidgen), printed up everything I could find on the language on the computer.

My point is, I love it, I want to speak with others, I want to live where it is spoken. Who speaks hawaiian here? Where could I live my life around it, or even use it in employment? I'm a cook, but then I thought, is there work involving this? But most importantly, I want it socially.

Any input would be appreciated, and I look forward to having a language buddy or two. Mahalo. Bart
