Hola,
Como esta?
Ohayu,
Ogenki desu ka?
Hey,
Whaz up?
How many languages do you speak? Fluently?
The HomeWork for this week is to learn 8 words and one complete sentence
(longer than 3 words) in a language other than Spanish or French. And then
use them all at least once per day for the week.
The reason I eliminate Spanish and French is because those are the most
common languages that people I know took in high school, and still remember
bits and pieces.
The point of this HomeWork is to expand/exercise your mind a little and
learn totally un-familiar words.
I suggest:
Latin
Vietnamese
Japanese
Thai
Chinese
Russian
But, you can choose your own. Of course, we all will probably learn
“hello”, “goodbye”, “thank you”, “yes”, & “no”... But what are the other 3
that you will learn? And what sentence will you learn? How to order
something? Numbers? Directions of a compass?
It is up to you!
For some of you, I have extended the breathe through a straw for 3 minutes
each day. You can feel free to take on this HomeWork also, just remember to
‘do the straw’...
I am sure a lot of use could benefit from the straw 3 minutes a day, so if
you think that might be a good idea for you, and/or it was a challenge to
complete the 3 minutes a couple weeks ago, then you should also revisit the
3 minutes of straw breathing each day.
Have a great week,
Adios,
Ja mata,
Out,
MRoss
P.S.
Mitch passed along information that the Seattle Marathon and Half-Marathon
are desperately seeking Course Marshals.
Here is the original email:

Subject: *** HELP!! *** HELP!! *** COURSE MARSHALS NEEDED FOR 2009 AMICA
INSURANCE SEATTLE MARATHON
Hello. I am pleading with each of you to find a way to be a course marshal
for the Sunday, Nov 29 Amica Insurance Seattle Marathon. I don't know how
many of you are runners or joggers. Even if you've never gotten in a race,
you know how difficult it is for a runner if traffic interferes with him or
her. Course marshals are highly respected and appreciated by runners. We are
extremely short handed this year (we need at least 150 volunteers and we
have less than 20 so far). The Seattle Police Department has put it this
way:
The race will not start unless there are course marshals at each position,
and the Seattle Police may cancel next year’s event! Simple as that.
Remember that the safety of runners and walkers is at stake.
If you are over 16 and need community service time, we can sure use your
help!
Please volunteer just 3 hours of your time. Ask your friends and associates
to help. And whether yes or no, please let me know by reply email. Thank you
so much.
We also need volunteers for our 5K race on Saturday Nov 28 from 7:30AM to
9:30AM. Thanks again!
