An introduction to the Hawaiian alphabet: the five pure vowels, the eight consonants including the ʻokina, the kahakō, how sounds have changed across Polynesia, Hawaiian words still used in Pidgin English, and a short reading passage from 1834 with a translation.
Kaʻi are the words that lead content words, like «he» (a/an) and «ka» and «ke» (the), with the «ke ao» rule for choosing between ka and ke. Members continue with first sentences and a substitution drill, the history of «ka» and «ke», kaʻi in place names, and the four memeʻa.
Your first Hawaiian sentences: the four kinds of memeʻa (ʻaʻano, kikino, hamani and hehele), common examples, kaʻi+memeʻa pairs like «ka hale» and «kēia lā», and the stative and action sentence patterns. Members get the example sentences.
What pronouns do in English, why Hawaiian uses them only for people, and the first three papani: au, ʻoe and ʻoia. Members continue with example sentences, papani in the ʻawe, and papani for two and three or more people.
All the Hawaiian personal pronouns (papani) in one table: singular, dual and plural; inclusive and exclusive; subject (piko) and object (ʻawe) forms.
The three main kinds of content in the piko and ʻawe, the basic ʻami and their meanings, and three phrase patterns: Pepeke Henua (locational), Pepeke Painu ʻAʻano (stative) and Pepeke Painu Hamani/Hehele (action). Members get the worked examples.
Kāhulu are describing words, and in Hawaiian they follow what they describe: «he pahu nui», a big box. Kāhulu memeʻa and kāhulu iʻoa, combining them, reading kāhulu back into English, what the name means, and compound words. Members get the summary examples with breakdowns.
Hawaiian numbers 0–10 and their four forms: base numbers for counting and reading out digits, quantity numbers used as kaʻi (hoʻokahi, ʻelua…), and numbers used as kāhulu for position and quantity. Members continue with lessons on quantity kaʻi, higher numbers and numbers as kāhulu.
How Hawaiian numbers are built from 10 to 10 million: ʻumi, iwakālua, kana-, the infix -kūmā-, haneli, kaukani and miliona, with the traditional groupings kauna, kaʻau, lau and mano, and a chart of the numbers 0–99.
How Hawaiian shows tense with māka painu: ua, ke … nei, ke … ala, e … ana, e, mai, o, ke and inā, with a table of examples for action verbs and statives. Members get eight more example sentences, including if-then sentences.
How possession works in Hawaiian: kinoʻō (o-class) and kinoʻā (a-class) possessives, chosen by the relationship of the owner to the item owned, with the first six possessive kaʻi (koʻu, kou, kona, kaʻu, kāu, kāna). Members get the category tables with examples and a 16-item practice.
The six pepeke patterns of Level 1B (Pepeke Henua, Painu ʻAʻano, Painu Hamani and Hehele, ʻAike He and ʻAike ʻO): what each one tells us, how it starts, which markers it takes, and examples in Hawaiian, Pidgin and English, with a short glossary of pepeke terms.
