Language
I'm studying on my own right now, but we'll be taking a class in a couple weeks. Pronouns... I have to remember that the word for "who" sounds like "me", the word for "he" sounds like "who", and the word for "she" sounds like "he". So it's "hoo...hee's a heffalump" for sure. Jesh might know what that means, as would Pooh-bear. Nouns aren't hard, and verbs so far don't look too bad, except that they're all irregular--well, not really, but the middle changes instead of the ending, and it's the last syllable that is usually emphasized, so the part I'm trying to pay attention to is in the middle and unaccented and hard for my untrained ears to hear. Plus they all have two or more syllables--no simple ones like go, come, sit, stay, hear, eat, love. Come to think of it, there's "ba," which means "come."
