WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Class Attendance
- All classes are delivered live via Zoom.
- There are two "Sections" of CH2B on Tuesdays for you to choose from: 1:00 pm, and 4:00 pm HST. Each Section runs for an hour.
- You may switch which Section you attend, week to week, based on your schedule.
- You attend as many Sections as you pay for. If you want to attend both Sections, please register for the class twice.
- You will have access to both Sections of the class videos and notes each week in BAND (see below). That equates to about 90 minutes of available instruction per week (45 mins x 2).
Class Videos and Other Materials
- To gain access to the class materials, homework, recordings, and PDF notes from each class, you will need to join the CH2B "BAND" group.
- BAND is like a private FaceBook for small groups of people, schools, hālau, and so on. It is free.
- Joining the BAND group is mandatory for participation.
- The CH2B BAND information will be in the "Class Information" email sent to you upon registration. If you do not see the email, please check your “All Mail” inbox.
- If you do not get the email at all, please reach out to us at feedback [at] oleloonline [dot] com.
- The Zoom Meeting ID and link can be found in both the email and at the top of the BAND feed.

ABOUT THE CLASS
The second step in Level Two is “CH2B” which is perfect for students who have been through CH2A a few times and are wanting to string together sentences into paragraph-length discourse, both written and spoken. CH2B students are also exposed further to traditional Hawaiian literature and audio recordings of Hawaiian language speakers. (CH2B is taught using Hawaiian as the language of instruction about 10% of the time.)
CH2B continues on from CH2A with attention paid to attaining knowledge in the following areas, among others:
- Further refinement of knowledge from CH1A through CH2A
- Short storytelling and narratives
- Pepeke Nonoʻa No/Na (something belongs to something)
- One more ʻawe type (ʻawe nonoʻa)
- Kuʻa joining particles for Pepeke Makua, Pepeke Keiki (e, i)
- Iʻoahenua in both ʻawe henua and ʻawe lauka
- Compressed and uncompressed possessives
- Talking about sequences of actions and things
- Times past and future
- Indeed, however, perhaps (nō, naʻe, paha)
- Māka Painu tense markers for storytelling and narratives
- Asking for something or a quantity of something using «i»
- Use of «hoʻo» to make transitive actions
- Using «poʻe», «wahi», and «nui» as kaʻi
