Foreign languages

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Good morning and welcome to languages. I am Morpheus, Dream of the Endless. You may call me Dream.

Today I would like for us to get to know each other and talk about why we're here. Please take a few minutes to read the syllabus--if you have any questions about it, now's the time to ask. Then let's go around the room and introduce ourselves. Please also state why you're taking this class.


[ooc: Same deal as yesterday: one post for all language classes, separate comment groups for each. Probably won't be able to participate much during the day again. Yay working for a living.]

Lisa rushes into class, but realizes she is the first one there. She takes a seat in the front of the classroom and begins to organize her books and papers.


Good Morning, Mr. Dream. I'm Lisa Cuddy, I should be on your classlist. I must say I am very excited for your class. I know little about the subject matter, but I thought that studying the Origins of English would be good preparation for college exams.

Oh wow, I must have lost track of time in the library. I understand the enrollment for this class is fairly small. May I ask how class will be run?

We'll start with an overview of the phonetic alphabet. It will come in handy as we get into things like vowel shifts and regional pronounciation.
