Language Classes, 11/30
Hello.
First, I would like to ask that any students who are interested in taking language classes next semester complete the survey to help me decide what to offer. I'll be setting syllabi over the weekend.
Classics: Our prior work in Greek should give you a good grasp of the present, middle, indicative verb tense. It is used to show that the subject is acting so as to participate in some way in the results of the action. This means that such verbs should be translated reflexively. The form of the present, middle, indicative is exactly the same as the present, passive, indicative. So, the difference is function rather than form. The context of the passage will indicate whether the verb is middle or passive in function.
Languages of Asia: Dream plays a video demonstrating Japanese social introductions.
Please write a brief dialogue demonstrating your Japanese vocabulary for this situation.
[OOC: Now with actual comment threads. *headdesk* Sam, Michael -- you'll get the proper attendance and participation credits, so don't worry.]
