ABOUT THE CLASS
If you already have taken CH1A or another introductory course in Hawaiian, or have done some study on your own including the topics shown in the description of the CH1A Absolute Beginner class, then you are welcome to join CH1B directly. CH1A students are encouraged to move into CH1B after their first eight week Session.
Kumu Kaliko teaches using the “Pepeke” Hawaiian-language model, so to start CH1B you will need to know at least what «poʻo», «piko», and «ʻawe» are, as well as the four basic Pepeke: Pepeke Henua, Pepeke Painu ʻAʻano, Pepeke Painu Hamani, and Pepeke Painu Hehele. If you don’t know those things yet, it will be worth your time to go through the CH1A class just to get up to speed.
In CH1B, you will build on the basic foundation attained in CH1A, including the following topics:
- Refinement and practice of knowledge from CH1A
- Pepeke ʻAike He (class-inclusion pattern)
- Pepeke ʻAike ʻO (equational pattern)
- Using numbers both as kaʻi determiners and kāhulu modifiers
- The five basic ʻawe types (ʻawe henua, ʻawe hoa, ʻawe kāhea, ʻawe kuhilana, and ʻawe lauka)
- Telling time in more detail
- Saying that something is on top, underneath, in front, behind, etc. (iʻoahenua)
- Asking basic questions (what, who, how many, which, and yes/no questions)
- Tense markers (māka painu) and two special-use tense markers called kuʻa
- Adding Pepeke and parts of Pepeke together using conjunctions and kuʻa markers
- Basic Hawaiian prosody (intonation, rhythm, etc)
REFUNDS & EXCHANGES
We prefer to keep things simple!
If you need to cancel your eight-week Session with us within the first two weeks of class, we will refund you 100% of the cost of the class. We can also defer your attendance until the following Session if you prefer.
If you wish to change to another level after the Session has begun, we are happy to do that at no charge! Just let us know, and we'll get you set up in the class that fits your needs best!
If you are further than two weeks into the Session and wish to drop or otherwise have an issue, please contact us, and we can evaluate on a case-by-case basis.
