Work Notes

I'm at work, slacking off while they're working on the Chinese portion of the class. Yes, it's all completely over my head and no, I can't follow it even if I try. Yes, I have tried.

The first thing I do every day is work with two students individually on pronunciation. To practice this, they read a passage that either me or the teacher picks out. Here are my notes from that practice, 'cause I think they're interesting. They follow:

O idea - idear X
O area - arear X

the =
thuh/thee - X thah X


four
whore

OO originally synthesized tunes
XX originarry synsesized tyunes
