Language Classes, 11/17

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Languages of Europe: It looks as though most of you have some experience with French, which is good. If you do not, see me after class.

In any case, we're going to move on to a lesson on French verb conjugations in the present tense. The most common conjugation, of course, is the -e, -es, -e, -ons, -ez, -ent sequence, used in such verbs as nager and manger. But many of the most common French verbs, like aller, etre and avoir, are irregular. [Dream goes on to speak about different regular and irregular conjugations for some time.]

For your homework for Tuesday, I would like each of you to pick one regular and one irregular French verb and list all the verb forms. Extra credit for using the verbs you have picked in sentences of at least four words.

Cat: I am going to permit you to take control of the class for the day. We have reviewed many facets of cat at this point. I am unsure what direction would be the most beneficial to you for continued study. Discuss that among yourselves and let me know; ask me questions if you wish.

Sign in, and answer this question: "What more would you like to learn from this class before the term ends?"

I would like more opportunity to do "field trips" in cat form to have more real world experience with Cat.

"That is an option.

Is there anywhere in particular that you would like to go?"

"Perhaps out to the park to explore the various things in the outdoors?"

"Erm I think two of them work together in town, one's called Puss the other The Cat I think, I have to go down there later so I'll ask them to call if you like. Puss seems very nice, but I've not met the other one yet."

I think comprehension is the most important part. I mean, we--in our normal lives--aren't likely to actually be cats, so the most important thing is understanding them, like, an' bein' able to communicate with them while we're in human form.

"I agree with Zero; being able to communicate across the species barrier would be very helpful. Perhaps we could explore alternate methods of correctly expressing the requisite body language?"

"So Cat for humans?" Dream muses. "Interesting concept. I may do that after the holiday."
