Hawaiian and English texts are on separate pages to aid in rendering the student’s first language inoperative. These methods, together with memorization and drill, will help the student more readily to achieve
fluency in Hawaiian, unhampered by English.

The text includes directed responses, questions and answers, short narratives, pattern practice, conversations, and material for practice in tenses, sentence expansion, and comparative forms. This new edition also offers more comprehensive illustrations and explanations of word usage and syntax, based on the most recent and most authoritative Hawaiian language definitions.
