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.]

//About a hundred and forty years ago. He was a very special man -- I have a book on him somewhere. //

Dream rummages through his shelves, coming back with a thin biography of Emporer Norton I (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Norton_I). He holds it out for Piper to take if she wishes.

//Do you have any questions for me before you take your seat, Miss Halliwell?//

Piper accepts the biography.

//Thank you. I look forward to reading it. And I have no questions.//

Dream smiles slightly at the shy girl.

//Thank you.//
