Language classes, Monday

Good morning, class. I'm glad to see you all survived the weekend. If you are having trouble with residual nightmares feel free to see me during my office hours. Or speak to the school counselor--she's quite good at what she does.

The first in-class presentations will be Friday. I would like three volunteers per class. Remember it needs be only five minutes long.

I would like to do another movie day this Friday as well, but I feel after this weekend my choice of Raise the Red Lantern would be too . . . depressing. So we will be watching the undubbed version of Spirited Away instead. I particularly expect the Asian languages students to attend. The purpose of movie days is to hear your languages in context, so if you're not able to attend it won't affect your grade. But do try to see undubbed foreign films during the semester. It will help.

Your first exams will be in two weeks.

Good morning. I was very pleased with your abilities in conversation last week, and your willingness to speak despite not compltely knowing what to say. A sense of adventure is vital to a good student, I feel.

Today we'll go further into the Semetic languages: we will delve further into Hebrew as well as look at ancient Eygptian, one of the oldest written languages in existence. The vocabulary will be difficult. I hope you're up to the challenge.

Connor makes his way to class, slipping in and taking a seat at the last minute. Despite the way eary hour, he feels he's up to the challenge of Hebrew and Egyptian. he's quite interested in the Ancient Egyptian, because it is one of the oldest known written languages.

*came in right behind his twin, claimed the next seat over*

*comes into class, sits down, and starts studying*

Anders takes a seat, frantically reviewing last week's notes.

*takes notes*

*Jack comes in about fifteen minutes late and finds a seat*

Sorry, long shower.

[OOC: Jack-mun was without electricity on Monday, is it okay if Jack comes in late to avoid detention?]

Sonia hurries in late, giving Prof. Dream an apologetic smile before taking a seat and reviewing her vocabulary.

[OOC: Sorry so late, this is the first chance I've had to *breathe* thanks to RL classes. Can she be marked late, or make up the absence?]

Attendance of this class has been very poor. I may combine this with History of English. I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Remus looks around. He thinks they're both interesting subjects . . . he's not sure about changing his schedule, though.

My schedule's fairly clear. I do your two courses and Library Science. Right now the hours are a little wonky there due to, uh, zombie stew cleanup.

We will continue with Korean today--Lane, your accent is excellent. Everyone else, listen well and repeat . . .

*he begins with simple vocabulary and basic sentences*

Now, find a partner and practice what we've just said.

Looks for a partner to practice with,

*practices*

*practices with you*

Thanks. I was hoping to find someone to practice with and Lane is so good she's a little intimidating.

*Dream is in the languages classroom. He appears to be making sand castles on his desk.

. . . one of them looks a lot like Buckingham Palace.*
