Jula class can make me laugh sometimes. Let me share with you the two things that made me laugh most on Friday:<\/p>\n
1. In Jula you don\u2019t say, \u201cHere, kitty, kitty.\u201d Instead you say, \u201cMoose! Moose!\u201d Ok, so it\u2019s not spelled like that, but that\u2019s what it\u2019s pronounced like. I think my teacher didn\u2019t quite understand why I thought that was so funny. But I laughed a lot.<\/p>\n
2. Fatimata, my Jula teacher, told me how she and her sister sometimes talk in the equivalent of Pig Latin so that others don\u2019t know what they\u2019re saying. They say words backwards \u2013 either switching the letters or the syllables around. She tried it on me. It sounded so funny that it made me laugh. But after her saying each sentence once and me laughing hard, she was able to say it a few more times and usually have me understand. Then I tried to respond. It was the first day that I thought that it was easy to speak Jula \u2013 plain Jula is a lot easier than Jula that is all backwards and upside down. \ud83d\ude42 But I did realize that speaking in the equivalent of Pig Latin could be very, very useful when I learn my next language, which won\u2019t be a written language. Why, you may ask? Because even as we talking Jula Pig Latin I learned more about where word and syllable breaks are as well as whether they think of two consonants that are next to each other as one sound or two. When you flip syllables around in a word you have to know where the word ends. So, for example, you would know whether they think of a word such as \u201cskipping\u201d as one word (skipping) or two words (skip ing). It could also be handy for words like \u201cshortcut\u201d that could very conceivably be one or two words. By listening to Pig Latin you could learn that it\u2019s one word. Who knew a crazy game could be so helpful?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
