Pronounce the following randomly picked Hawaiian words OR names for places in Hawaii by spelling thm as they sound.

Easy :

Kula
Haiku
Hale
Aina
Pukalani
Wailea
Manoa
Pono
Koka

Medium :

Kekaulike
Kamehameha
Waialala
Kilauea
Humuhumunukunukuapuaa
Maalaea

Hard :

Mele Kalikimaka
Hauoli Makahiki Ho
Pipeline
Kalehuawehe
Niihau

I may add more later.

Knock yourself out.

EDIT : No google lazy people, use your intuition.
