Languages, Tuesday

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

In case you missed the announcement yesterday: every student in the language classes needs to do an in-class presentation. There is a sign-up sheet and further instructions at my office. The presentations should be between three and five minutes long. Visuals are encouraged. Your first presentation may be in English or your native tongue; your second one, later in the semester, must be at least half in the language you are studying. (History of English students are the exception.) The subject of your presentation may be any historical or cultural aspect of the language you're studying.

Homework for all classes is study and practice your vocabulary, and prepare for your presentations.

1:00 - 3:00 TTh. Languages of Europe

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Your vocabulary quiz is on the board. The first five are French to English, the second are German to English.

We'll also begin with Spanish and Latinate languages today, simple verb conjugation and basic vocabulary.

Rory races through her quiz, and opens a novel once she's done.

*Hamlet starts on the quiz. He does the French perfectly, but struggles a bit with the German ones. His German translations come out a little awkward, with some of the phrases incorrect. He makes a note to himself to write to Horatio for more help with his German. He opens a notebook and starts writing after finishing the test.*

Archie does fairly well with the French vocabulary and manages to get all the English translations right, though he chews his way almost all the way through his pen to get two of the German words right.

Once he's done with that, he takes notes rather feverishly on today's lesson.

Krycek finishes his quiz fairly quickly, then settles in for the lesson.

Piper finishes the quiz quickly, doing well on French, mediocre on the German. She then prepares for today's lecture.

Parker does swimmingly on the French to English, and misses two on the German to English, but not by much.
