and I want to bang my head against the wall. It's going to be an interesting summer if this is how's it's going to go...
I'm in the lowest class, which is more or less what I expected. And actually will cover what I need to for Tech in the fall so that's fine. But we clearly have a wide variety of levels and previous experience in this 12 person class... We're starting 3 chapters behind what I've done and taking a slower than glacier pace. Spending two hours conjugating two verbs in the past tense. Like what. I also dont see why they have to individually correct everyone's work if we're doing the same work sheet. Like just go over it on the board...
Also surprise that schedule I found in our program handbook was wrong. #governmentwork
I have Darija class from 8:30-9:20, Fusha from 9:20-11:00, Break from 11-11:30, and more Fusha class from 11:30-1:00 pm, except for Friday's when I have a test from 12noon - 1 pm as well.
The Darija is interesting... there's a pattern for verbs in the present tense and most of the verbs themselves are the same but there's a few important ones that are quite different. Whereas the Shami dialects seems to be more vowel based, Darija is very much consonants. and like everyone, they speak so fast.
On the plus side, I've already done all the homework so I have lots of free time to explore. By which I mean nap.
