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.]

Good morning, all. Help yourselves to the coffee or juice.

I hope you enjoyed your experience as cats last week. We'll be doing that again in a few minutes. This time, I want you to observe any differences in the way your senses interact in your normal form and in feline form.

Your homework for next time is 200 words on your cat experience so far, focusing on sense of smell and touch.

Hell, everyone. I hope you had a good lunch.

Last time we discussed language families. Today we'll start with grammar.

Who can tell me what an inflected language is?

Good afternoon, class.

Today we'll continue the discussion of the phonetic alphabet. Everyone please take a handout. There will be a quiz on the symbols next time.

I have an assignment for all of you, due a week from Thursday: find someone with an accent different from your own, record them speaking for about a minute, and try to write the differences between the way they pronounce common words and you do in the phonetic alphabet.
