It is an extension of the landmark book Beginning Tlingit —which was edited by the late linguist Richard Dauenhauer and his wife, Nora Dauenhauer, a fluent Tlingit speaker and scholar, and published by SHI.

The workbook is based entirely on the teaching methods and steps developed by the Dauenhauers, as well as many other contributors over the years, but it also incorporates some of the ways people today are documenting and teaching various parts of Tlingit grammar, especially verbs. Tlingit is famous for having one of the most difficult and complex sound systems in the world. Tlingit presents about two dozen sounds not shared with English. Four of these sounds are unique to Tlingit — not shared with any other language on Earth as far as linguists know.

This complexity can prove discouraging for beginners and presents a major barrier to learning. The idea behind the book is to introduce students to the sounds of the language in as non-threatening a manner as possible. The book also will help fluent speakers learn to write Tlingit. The language historically was not written and the orthography used today was developed by linguists in the late 20th century.

Consequently, many Elders fluent in Tlingit do not know the writing system. By listening to the online audio and following along with the text, fluent speakers will be able to learn which symbols correspond to which sounds. The book was written by Richard and Nora Marks Dauenhauer.

The materials were vetted by numerous language students, auditors and community Elders.

Haida has grayish-brown fur, a black nose and ears, and a dark gray muzzle with freckle-like spots on his cheeks. His eyes are hazel, and he has gray hands, tail, fur tufts in his ears, and a pronounced underbite. Haida wears a white dress shirt, red tie, black dress pants, and brown dress shoes at work.

His casual wear consists of a red and black striped t-shirt, black leather jacket, jeans, and boots. In winter, he wears an olive green coat with a white fur hood. It is hard to say what Haida's real personality is like, as most of his time is either spent fawning over Retsuko or drunk, but these situations show that he is somewhat neurotic, often visibly anxious, and can be prone to bursts of anger. Haida tries hard to impress Retsuko with his initiative to fix her things and compliments her as best as he can, but cannot get himself to admit his feelings for her and doesn't take her rejection very well at first.

He has a lot of trust for Fenneko to keep Retsuko safe at the mixer, and though he gets extremely jealous of Resasuke , he is still content that Retsuko is happy with him. This shows that he is kind and considerate, even when not getting what he wants. At times, Haida can get very passive and indecisive, such as when he juggles between his feelings for Retsuko and Inui, unable to choose between the two. He can be pretty much of a pushover, only following people's words rather than listening to his own choices.

His lack of confidence has been a huge obstacle in his life, such as hindering him from advancing his relationship with Retsuko further, and it also makes him susceptible to manipulation from empowered individuals like Himuro.

But gradually, he learns how to stand up and be at least a bit more assertive after Retsuko slapped some senses back to him. Haida developed a huge crush on Retsuko sometime after they started working at the trading firm together, six months after they started working together when he caught Retsuko stealing water after work hours.

Aforementioned by Fenneko, he had a crush on her for approximately five years to which he primarily kept it a secret except from Fenneko.

He explained that his reasons being, his first impressions and interpretation of Retsuko described her as vanilla until he saw her after work hours and decided to tail her and catch her in the act of putting her water bottle near the water machine.

To his delight he found it fascinating and with that explanation - that's how the long term crush began, as well as him thinking she was cute. Since then, he tried working up the courage to confess to her. After Retsuko started dating Resasuke , Haida blamed no one but himself for waiting too long; he took their relationship very hard and went out drinking alone, catching pneumonia after dejectedly laying outside in the rain.

Retsuko visited him in the hospital, informing him of her break up with Resasuke, leading Haida to finally confess his feelings. Retsuko politely rejected him, saying she knew how he felt and that she did like him, but that she simply wasn't ready for a relationship yet. Haida later developed a complex after the rejection and couldn't talk to Retsuko, having nightmares regarding the rejection. After Fenneko told Haida that he should move on, Haida proclaimed he wasn't ready to and wanted to try again, but failed to ask her out to a Christmas party due to his nerves.

After seeing Retsuko's lonely Instagram post while at a Christmas party, Haida ran back to the office thinking she might still be there working overtime, disappointed to not see her there.

While walking back, he ran into Retsuko, Gori , and Washimi leaving a ramen bar. Gori and Washimi walked off, leaving Retsuko in the care of Haida, and the two decided to spend the rest of Christmas walking home together. Months later, when news broke of Retsuko's relationship with Tadano, he became extremely jealous and sad, stating he was going to punch Tadano despite previously being a huge fan of his, showing that he wasn't letting it go, but his jealousy seems to have lessened after noticing that Tadano was upset upon leaving the karaoke bar, aware that Retsuko had privately ended her relationship with Tadano.

Haida, along with Fenneko, were aware of Retsuko hiding personal matters from him, and had since resigned to their current relationship as mere work colleagues despite his lingering sentiment for her. His feelings towards Retsuko became affirmed after she admits second-handed to having him as a friend instead of a work buddy soon after teaching her guitar lessons.

He tries to spend some time with Inui to get his mind off Retsuko, but eventually he realizes that he cannot forget about her as Inui soon figures out he still has lingering feelings for Retsuko. He later saves Retsuko from an aggressive stalker and finally realizes he cares about her after Inui tells him to be honest with himself. He sings aggressively to Retsuko to motivate the latter to admit and express herself and once again confesses to her.

Although rejected and initially staggered by her death metal, Haida accepts her and reaffirms his support for Retsuko, which shows his willingness to know her for who she is, unlike her other boyfriends. They had since become better friends afterward, being more honest with each other. Haida decided to muster up the courage to ask her out, but out of submission and anxiety brought on by his lack of confidence, he started creating reasons for getting out of going on dates with her.

Retsuko soon believed that they weren't ready to enter a relationship, and decided that they should stay as friends for the time being. After she gave him a confidence boost by telling him she likes him back and wants to know him better, they started going out again and became closer at and outside of work.

Haida became more immersed in his work after being acknowledged by Himuro for the sake of validation and loyalty to the company, eventually leading to his involvement in fraud of the company's quartly profits.

After Retsuko realized his actions, she slapped some senses back into him, telling him frankly that even though she was disappointed with his mistake, she still cares and values him.
