Language Classes, 11/09



Hello.

Classics students: We are going to continue our work in the text, "Elementary Greek," with a review of lessons four and five, which discuss the first and second declensions of nouns. Do the exercises at the end of the chapters and hand them in as homework on Monday.

Languages of Asia: On Monday, we discussed the three writing styles used in Japanese. Today, we will focus in on the first I wish you to learn -- katakana, which is used for onomatopeia, technical terms, and -- of interest to you -- words from foreign languages.

I am passing out a worksheet showing each katakana. For homework, I would like each of you to copy out each symbol and write your name at the top. Remember that in Japanese, each consonant is followed by a vowel. For example, my name would be written with the characters for da-ri-mu.

Murphy signs in, looking tired (what do you expect, it's still too early for his taste) but in better shape than he was on Monday.

He takes his usual seat and starts in on the text.

A grin and a nod of thanks before he shifts the text so Connor can read it as well without straining his neck.

Connor flashes a tired smile and starts reading.
