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.]

//The ones we have learned in class, and a little Spanish from my former school.//

Dream nods, writing something down.

//And where was your former school?//

English is fine for things without Cantonese words, Dream tells her quietly.

Switching languages:

//You did very well, Miss Kim. Do you have any questions for me?//

Oh, good! I mean, //Good. I have no other questions. Thank you, professor.//

You're welcome. You may take your seat.
