answer of Mr Figaro [not real name]

I let my students decipher or fugure (typo) out the title of the poem. It is a Korean type of poem under the genre of sijo [pronounced, sidzou]   The Tree of Unhappiness by Kim Sang-yong and translated by Graeme Wilson]

I yada the words, I say the piece, I speak and they open their minds and imagine.

                     On broad leaves of pau-low-nia
                     The one and only tree
                     Whereon the phoenix will set foot....
                     

My students have interesting answers:

  1.  Tree of Life
  2.   Love
  3.   Tree of Poetry
  4.   Tree of Broad
  5.   God (answer of Peter)
  6.  Life, the tree has many memories

The best answer: Tree of Mr. Jabines

Way to go, BATCH 2013 !!!!!!!!

Big time congratulations to this year's (apostrophe, please!!!!) graduates. Way to go, from Aquarius to Pisces to Newton to Edison to Garcia to Saggitarius [excuse me, it is /SAJ ji TEY riyas/...pardon my momentary nutty teachings!!!!!!] to Qizon [yes, I  intended to misspell it...in order to sustain your brain!!! kus u r sooooopaaaaaahhhh excited during the rehearsals, batch 2013!!!!!!] to Taurus [uh-oh!!!!!not again, this is /TO ras/, not taw rooos!!!! please] to Libra to....Capricorn (JOKE, no such section, but hey THAT IS MY FRIGGIN ZODIAC...anyhoot...)

Look proud and kingly and queenly and as if you are an Olay model during that momentous day which is on the............twenty.......second???? ait??? Jackpot Congrats and Kudos as what my fave musician (she is Alanis Morissette) would say.

Kudos????? Please, come on, hotel ramon, google it...come on, cinnamon!! Grats...grats and grats...

"soldier" as in combat as in batt com

class, correction, excuse me, that is not /soul/ + /dyEr/. do you mean /soul....dyEr...two sad yEr?/

just do this for an effective remembrance for that word: sol....sol....sol (as in musical notes) AND jer...jer...jer (it is too late for me to undo; i later found out that it has a sexual value here in the local dialect)

word for today

verbiage. like, cabbage--sounds like---or entourage (no, im wrong! verbiage is /virbiedj/ while entourage is /AHN turazh/ ---my IPA career is imminently doomed with forever suffering with cortisol levels shooting high up to mainland China!!!!)

I have heard that when I was still in grade school...then into high school (from Nancy Drew stories?? I doubt it!)... please, say it aloud and it is helpful during spelling bees!

once again: vvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbiaaaaaaaaaggggggggge!

décalage

asked by lizzie. from her Psychology subject.

pronounced as /DAY ka lazh/ ---- and NOT /dE ka lidge/. This is due to its French etymology or origin.

Both Lizzie and I have said the word many times. We competed against the whirring sound of the old electric fan atop the counter. whirrrrr /day ka lazh/ whirrrrrr /day ka lazh/ whiirrrrrr tweeeeet (the bird outside made a scene. as in eksena kaayo!)

how to pronounce this and be treated like god!

 
It's /fe RE roh ro SHAY/...and not /FE re roh ro tsher/, pleaase, if you have small welcoming thoughts on your audience impact life!
