Aloha. A simple word, familiar to most, but there’s a world of meaning packed into those five letters. A greeting, a goodbye, an expression of affection…
Aloha goes back to Hawaii’s very origins and appears in nearly every Polynesian language. In each it symbolizes love, compassion, sympathy, and kindness.
Anthropologist Frances Newton said, “Aloha is a complex and profound sentiment. Such emotions defy definition.” And Hawaiian speakers believe there is no English equivalent to truly capture every color and feeling embedded in the word.
You now know the power behind aloha — one word of many in the Hawaiian language. Multiply that power by the thousands and that’s what you get with Drops. Plus we’ve worked with local translators and native speakers to ensure you get a high-quality language learning experience.
Let us sweep you away to the islands as you swipe, tap, and play your way to palekaiko (“paradise”). With thousands of words literally in the palm of your hand, you’ll dive into the Hawaiian language.
ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, the Hawaiian language is spoken by around 2,000 native speakers and along with English, it is the official language of the state of Hawai’i. It’s classified as an endangered language by UNESCO, but Hawaiian immersion schools are doing their part to keep the language alive. And now, so is Drops.

"Love my fun language learning and practice with daily Drops sessions, and monthly Challenges to participate in, and quiz mode to test contextual learning - brilliant! So much thought, consideration and inclusivity has gone into the design and function of this app, I can't praise it highly enough."
"Great little learning app! I've learned at least 5-10 new words in Spanish in my first 5 minutes. Easy to pick up and thorough."
"Great language learning app! It helps you get daily words done in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend using drops to learn whatever language you want to learn."
"What an amazing app! I’ve tried several apps for language learning and I cannot recommend Drops enough. I don’t know how a short Drops session can teach me as much as 1 hour+ of focused use of other apps, it’s like magic."
"Amazing language learning tool. Excellent app for increasing vocabulary in your foreign language of choice. Useful for beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners. The repetition of the words makes them much easier to remember, and without the hassle of making your own flash cards. I have used Drops for two years now and have seen great results."
"Very engaging way of learning Yoruba in a stimulating way. Will be using to learn myself and to teach my child!"
"Less than a week in but using this alone with the popular one babbel working on German. When using just one app I got bored, babbel is not as fun. So using both at once actually let's my adhd do its thing but I still focused since I can switch easily between both apps and work in different areas. Also I like the quick little sessions makes me feel like I actually did something."
"So engaging. I speak Spanish well, but often forget words in conversation that I know I should know. This game is fun and quickly brings back vocabulary I may have put in the back of my brain after not using it for awhile. Case in point: I spent 11 years in construction, then went back to teaching in English and/or Spanish depending on the teacher/student"
