Language Classes, Tuesday

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

All language students:

If you have requested to join a class, consider yourself enrolled. Class rosters will be updated throughout the week. Remember that Friday is your last day to ADD or DROP a class.

Because we have so many new people, all vocabulary quizzes are postponed until next week. We will still be doing sign-ups for class presentations this week: I would like to start those in two weeks.

I will cover last week's lectures during lab hours this week, except for Friday: this Friday's lab hours will be a showing of Wings of Desire, open to all interested students. I strongly encourage European language students to attend.

There are no office hours today but I will be available during lab hours.



[ooc: Usual deal. Talk amongst yourselves.]

There are different dialects, this is so--they're not so much dependent on region or class, as they often are in spoken languages, but on breed. For example, a Persian will understand 'food' in a different way than an Abbysian.

But, as speakers of the same language can get at least the 'gist' of even the deepest regional accent, so can all animals basically understand one another.


[ooc: Yup. It's from the Dreaming, basically: being of dreams, it affects dreams.]

I had suspected something similar, but I appreciate the confirmation.

(OOC: Oh, this is gonna be good! ::evil grin:: This version of Beast is suppressing some intense and horrible memories and will probably have screaming nightmares all night. You may want to show up later tonight.)

It's an advanced topic. We'll cover it in more detail later in the semester.


[ooc: Cool.]

(OOC: And so it begins in both the dream world (http://www.livejournal.com/users/bluemanoncampus/6167.html) and the real world (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/38376.html).)
