We talked about some question words:
Who --> to ask about a person (eg., Who is your teacher at Santis?)
What --> to ask about a thing (eg., What is your teacher's name?)
Where --> to ask about a place (eg., Where does your teacher come from?)
How old --> to ask about somebody's age (eg., How old is your teacher?)
We also talked about some possessive adjectives:
I = my (I am Marie. --> My name is Marie)
you = your (You are Eegii. --> Your name is Eegii.)
he = his (He is Nambaa. --> His name is Nambaa.)
she = her (She is Togii. --> Her name is Togii.)
it = its (It is Cujo. --> Its name is Cujo.)
we = our (We live in this house. --> This is our house.)
they = their (They go to this school. --> This is their school.)
Some grammar issues frome these lessons:
We can say "I'm a student", and we can say, "Yes, I am", but we can not say "Yes, I'm.":
I'm a student. (GOOD)
I am a student. (GOOD)
Yes, I am. (GOOD)
Yes, I'm. (BAD)
The article 'a' or 'an' is very important. You must use it:
He is a businessman. (GOOD)
He is businessman. (BAD)
I'm a student. (GOOD)
I'm student. (BAD)
The verb 'be' is very important. You must use it:
Her name is Zoljargal. (GOOD)
Her name Zoljargal. (BAD)
Some pronunciation issues from these lessons were:
introduce --> sounds like "in-tro-doos"
Spain --> rhymes with "rain"
I'll --> sounds like "I-uhl"
g --> sounds like "jee"
j --> sounds like "jay"
musician --> sounds like "m-yoo-zi-shun"
photographer --> sounds like "faw-taw-gruh-fer" (make sure you bite your bottom lip when you make the /f/ or /ph/ sounds, and make sure that the second syllable-- the one that looks like "to" gets stressed)
cute --> sounds like "kyoot"
daughter --> sounds like "daw-der"
violin --> sounds like "v-eye-yuh-lin" (make sure that you bite your bottom lip when you say the /v/ sound)
violinist --> sounds like "v-eye-yuh-lin-ist" (again, make sure you bit your bottom lip to say the /v/ sound)
piano --> sounds like "pee-ya-no"
prices --> sounds like "pr-eye-suhz"

Some symbols that came up in reading:
