I should make this quick because I have a five page paper due tomorrow in Second Language Acquisition, which I haven’t started on yet. (o_0)
Had the first class in Intro to French this evening. Pretty interesting. We went through some basic phrases, numbers, the alphabet, and touched on the topic of gender in nouns and adjectives. It seems that if a word is spelled so the last letter is a consonant, it it pronounced with a vowel sound at the end. If a word is spelled with a vowel at the end, it is pronounced with a consonant ending. The rule apparently doesn’t cover everything, but I guess it covers masculine and feminine nouns and adjectives.
The paper due tomorrow is pretty much a five page report on why I am interested in Second Language Acquisition. The assignment sheet seems very… it reads like the instructions for a “hamburger essay” in Elementary Composition. Yet the instructor also wants a compelling narrative. It seems a bit contradictory in the instructions, but maybe that’s just me.
