Language Classes, Monday, Oct. 24

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Good morning.

I hope you all received my email this weekend. If you have any concerns about the discontinuation of Friday sessions, please let me know and I will attempt to address them.

Classics: We will continue our study of the basics of Greek. Please pair up and practice the pronounciations. Audiotapes demonstrating the proper sounds are in the cupboard at the back of the room; each pair of students should take a tape and headphones and go to a listening booth to work.

Languages of Asia: There is a quiz on Cantonese today, with the same format as the quiz on Hebrew last week. After you complete the vocabulary and translation passage, please approach me at my desk for a brief conversation in Cantonese.

[OOC: I got a comment that the Dream font makes it very hard to read the links, and -- as the FH community is white-on-black anyhow -- I'm removing it from his class postings. I'll still use it in his conversations, emails, etc. I offer my apologies to Neil Gaiman and anyone else offended.]

Janet drags herself in from the clinic and stifles a yawn as she signs in and begins to go over her pronunciation.

Sam slides into a seat next to her at the last minute and notices the yawn. "What happened last night?" She then begins to go over her pronunciation.

Rory sighs as she slides into her seat, and begins practicing pronounciation.

"Parker will be fine," whispers Janet later, when Rory finishes with her practice. "Stuck in the clinic the next four days, though."

Anders signs in and gets to work; his pronunciation is a little bit oddly accented, but not too bad.

A brief nod to Connor before heading over to an unoccupied listening booth.

Connor signs in directly beneath his brother and sits down to read a bit until a listening booth is open.

Sonia signs in, finds her seat, and begins practicing her pronunciation, occasionally glancing back to the notes she'd made in the last class.

Thomasina arrives for her classics lesson on time and slides into her usual seat. She is unsure as to what manner of beast an audiotape might be, but she imagines that if she watches her classmates she'll be able to figure it out.

Languages of Asia, 10/24

Rory signs in, and after carefully completing the excercises, approaches Dream's desk.

"Hello, Professor," she says in hesitant Cantonese.

Re: Languages of Asia, 10/24

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Recognizing Rory's Chinese is not as strong as her Hebrew, Dream speaks slowly and clearly in the language.

Greetings, Miss Gilmore.

How was your weekend?

Hello, Mr. Samuelle. How are you?

Re: Languages of Asia, 10/24

Before Janet starts work on her independent study, she approaches Professor Dream. "Professor? I'd like to apologize for my Friday absence. I wasn't feeling well after the day's Ethics class. Can I make up the work and have the absence excused, please?"
