Language Classes, 12/12

Hello.

I hope you're all finding the work on your final projects enlightening; let me know if you still have questions. I'll be expecting them all to be presented in class on or before Dec. 21.

Classics: You have done well in your work on translations and grammar, but we have not really reviewed how to pronounce ancient Greek as much as I would like. I am passing out a handout on current scholarship in Greek recitation, with special attention to rhythm and making it a pleasure to listen to.

To demonstrate, I will recite Sappho's "To Aphrodite" in classical fashion.

Languages of Asia: Poetry is an important part of Japanese culture. There is, of course, the haiku, poems describing nature and written in lines with specific syllable counts. But there are also other poems. Read the poems and react to one question in the handout.

Ivanova rather hesitantly knocks on Dream's door and pokes her head in. "Um, Professor Dream? I received your uplink - er, voicemail, and I just came by to say that I had dropped this class. Sorry for the confusion."

"No problem. Sorry again. Bye." She scarpered.
