About Hausa Lesson Notes

Hausa is a major language of northern Nigeria, and these notes teach it as a school subject from Basic 1 to Basic 6. Pupils begin with letters, simple reading, greetings and counting. They then move on to writing, word building and the study of nouns (sunaye) and verbs (aikatau).

The notes also cover songs, riddles, proverbs, folktales and short plays. Pupils learn about Hausa food, family life, clothing, occupations, naming and marriage customs, the days of the week and the months of the year. In the upper classes they write letters and study communication and transport.

What students learn

By the end of Basic 6, a student who has worked through these notes should be able to:

Read and write Hausa letters, vowels and consonants, and build them into words and sentences
