Language Classes, 11/08

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Hello.

Today is a test day for Languages of Europe and Cat students alike. Both tests will consist of a short vocabulary portion, a translation, and a five-minute dialogue with me in the appropriate tongue. For Languages of Europe, that means Spanish; for Cat, the translation will be based on the video now cued up in the VCR.

Please let me know if you have questions.

[OOC: Slowplay on this. Post that you handed in the written test and how well you did and that you're approaching Dream for the dialogue. I know a tiny bit of Spanish and Babelfish is my friend, so if you want to actually hold the conversation in Spanish, I can do that, though there's no penalty if you just choose to use the //slashes of speaking another language//. Finally -- anyone who does not complete a midterm dialogue within the next week will be given detention.]

Dream slowly nods his head, then lazily washes one paw.

Surprisingly, this means, //Yes.

How do you hope to use your knowledge of cat after this class?//

Michael Cat's ears twitch and whiskers stand at the ready. //I believe it could be very useful in intelligence gathering.//

Dream considers this, licking at the fur under his chin. Then he makes a "hrrrrph" noise in his throat.

Meaning: //Yes, I can see that.

You would, however, be hampered by your inability to transform.//

Michael cleans a front paw, then sits with head slightly averted. //This is true, but understanding some Cat even without transformation might be helpful.//

Dream stretches, then curls up into a ball before makign a slight sneezing noise. It means: //You are probably right.

Do you have any questions for me, or comments about the class?//

Michael sneezes, then rubs behind both ears. //I would like to thank you for this opportunity. I could not have imagined thos as a possibility before I took this class. Thank you.//

//Thank you for your attention and careful study, Mr. Samuelle.//

Dream moves on to a waiting student, with a glance over one shoulder to show Michael he was sincere.
