Art of Adaptation [Monday, Period Six]
Bond had informed his class that they were meeting inside today.
"Good afternoon," he began once the class had assembled. "Knowing a language other than your own can be an invaluable tool in adapting to a tricky situation, know one fluently enough and you can come off as a citizen of a country that language is spoken in. Alternatively you can downplay your knowledge and gain information because people think you can't understand them, and that's just the beginning."
"However too little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Especially when it comes to things like idiom and informal language. To prove my point we will be watching a Space Battles 3: Backstroke of the West, I would like you to all pay close attention to the subtitles and how they correspond to the actual spoken dialogue."
