He\u2019s from Hawaii, and he speaks \u02bb\u014dlelo Hawai\u02bbi \u2014 known on the mainland as Hawaiian. Come and talk to him, and he\u2019ll teach you about his language \u2014 its use of vowels; what the name of their state fish, the humuhumunukunukuapua\u2018a, means; and even the powerful Hawaiian word for \u201cblack hole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Kainoa is one of thirty-one language ambassadors who will introduce you to The Spoken World. This experience, which will fill Planet Word\u2019s expansive Great Hall, brings together spoken and signed languages from across the globe, including Navajo, Amharic, Zulu, and Iranian Sign Language.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Through tongue twisters, folk songs, sports chants, words of affection, and other fun, culture-specific phrases, ambassadors like Kainoa, Mariko, Sebi, and Cesar will introduce you to their languages \u2014 and teach you how to speak or sign a few phrases too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">These language experiences take place at various stations around a 12-foot-tall LED globe \u2014 which, for evening events, will retract up to the 22-foot-high ceiling and act as a spectacular chandelier. Natural light will pour in through massive windows overlooking Franklin Park, and the hall will be filled with the sounds of multilingual conversation.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/planetwordmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180530_PW_PressRender_LowResCaption_G2-1.jpg\" alt=\" The 12-foot LED globe serves as a centerpiece for The Spoken World. \" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 12-foot LED globe serves as a centerpiece for The Spoken World.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/planetwordmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BBB-1802-Franklin-School-View-2.jpg\" alt=\" The globe acts as a chandelier, converting the Great Hall into a flexible space for events and programs. \" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The globe acts as a chandelier, converting the Great Hall into a flexible space for events and programs.<span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Taking in these sights, sounds, and experiences will impress on you the awe-inspiring diversity of the world\u2019s languages. But it will also make something else clear: that no matter how far apart we may live or how different our languages may seem, we all share the same human desires to connect, to communicate, and to feel like we belong. The Spoken World will make clear our shared humanity \u2014 and our responsibility to respect and seek to understand each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What will you do at Planet Word?
