ABOUT THE CLASS
This class is designed especially for beginner-level parents or family members of Hawaiian “immersion” school students.
Since Hawaiian immersion school students —also known as «kula kaiapuni» or «kula mauli ola» students— speak Hawaiian in school, it is important to take time out to improve your own understanding of, and ability to speak, Hawaiian language at home, so that you can communicate meaningfully with them and their friends through Hawaiian language in common situations and settings.
As parents, grandparents, aunties, and uncles who are trying to figure out how to talk to children about brushing teeth, getting dressed, doing chores, doing homework, working or playing around the house, and so on, you will probably be wondering what vocabulary to use and how to easily memorize some short sentences in order to be able to talk with your keiki. This class will get you going in the right direction.
Any level of experience from absolute beginner on up is fine. If you wish to be placed into a higher level class after the eight-week Session starts, we can easily move you across to one of the other Conversational Hawaiian classes listed in our store.
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.
