ABOUT THE CLASS
This is Conversational Hawaiian at the 2A level for beginner speakers who want to focus on refining the basics and adding some more depth to their knowledge, as well as the ability to understand and produce short- to medium-length utterances.
If you understand the basics taught in CH1A and CH1B, then you are ready to join the CH2A class. In CH2A, you will learn much more Hawaiian language, including the following main areas of attention:
- Further refinement of knowledge from CH1A and CH1B
- Pepeke Nonoʻa He (“something has a something”)
- A-class and O-class possession
- Kāhulu Iʻoa and Kāhulu Nonoʻa modifiers
- More ʻawe types (ʻawe hiaʻo, ʻawe henua, level 2)
- Practice with use of iʻoahenua
- Telling time down to the second
- Basic Hawaiian directionals (hunekuhi)
- Pepeke Makua, Pepeke Keiki (dependent clauses)
- Conditionals (if…then)
- Conjunctions (kuʻina pepeke)
- Confirming and asking for confirmation
- Saying “when” and “whenever” something happens
- When something is obtained (loaʻa)
- When something goes into the possession of another (lilo 1)
- When something becomes something (lilo 2)
- When something is understood (maopopo)
- More in-depth use of Hawaiian prosody
In CH2A, kumu Kaliko will also get your ear used to listening to short phrases in Hawaiian, and get your tongue untied so you can easily produce short sentences reliably and intelligibly. (CH2A is taught using Hawaiian as the language of instruction about 5% of the time.)
