Summer Vacation 101, Thursday, Period 1
Oh would you look at that? There was an actual Sarah present today! The Danger Shop was a park today, and the class was gathered underneath a tree, with quilts to sit on.
"Sorry about the last two weeks," Sarah began. "Portalocity miscalculated the time difference last week, so I was in England while you lot were studying here. And I still don't know what the fuck happened the week before that." She was maybe going to ask Cara about that, later. "But, it's your second to last class in this workshop. There might be a final next week, or there might not. Haven't decided yet, and the lot of you have no real way to study for it, so who the fuck cares? I'm still taking this as an excuse to have an easy class. All you've got to do is talk."
Like any of her sessions in this workshop had been particularly hard.
"Language. If you go outside your own country, you might have problems with it. Hell, you might even have problems with it in your own country, but that's beside the point. What I want you to do today is talk about what foreign phrases you think it might be useful to learn before you go off and get yourself in trouble. Like, say ––" She gestured around them. "–– I once knew a hero from here so I know that knowing how to say 'Pistä se puukko pois' could come in handy 'round here."
Was she going to tell them what that meant? Maybe. Her pronunciation was atrocious, by the way.
"So, what kind of phrases do you think it'd be good to know, just in general? Ones that get you out of jail? Ones that'll get you laid? The names of all the food they sell on the streets so you'll at least know you're about to eat goat testicles? Talk."
