i speak whale.

we're slowly moving onto doing alphabets.

the little ones barely know their alphabets in french by heart, now i'm throwing the english version on them.

rather ruthless.

whenever i asked them to recite their alphabets, they'll start by giving me "AH".

- non! AH, c'est en francais!

- HEY?

- non, EY. repetez apres moi. (repeat after me)

- EY.

- B, C, D, EUH.

- non, eee, comme "i" en francais. (like "i" in french)

- iiiiiii.

- f, GAR.

- non, comme "dji".

- d'accord, dji.

- HASH?

- non.

- HAAR?

- non.

- EYSH?

- non, ey-tch.

- oh~ ey-tch.

- eeee?

- non, c'est pas "e", c'est comme quelque chose qui nous fait mal. (it's like how we hurt ourselves by hitting something)

- oh! aaiii.

- voila. i.

- jiii?

- non, jey.

- KAR?

- kay.

- LAY?

- non, c'est pas lay, qui le connait? (who knows what's that?)

- LAR?

- non, c'est pareil comme en francais, ELLE. (it's the same as in french)

- argh~ elle.

- M N O P.

- tres bien.

- KOO?

- non, kyu.

- HEY.

- god, where did that come from? HEY? non, c'est ARRRRRR.

- S, T, U.

- tres bien.

- LAY.

- my friggin god, seriously, LAY again? non, VIIIII.

- WAH.

- double V. oh, no, c'est double U. ( i got myself confused, thanks.)

- KSAI.

- great greek knowledge, but no, eks, hun, eks.

- euh, chepas maitresse. (um, i don't know miss.)

- Y.

- Z.

- very good. now let's do it all over again, A~B~C.

we did the above 5 times.

then we sang the song.

i asked one girl to do it on her own.

she started by HAH.

and 5 other kids fell asleep during the alphabet song.

very rewarding class indeed.
