Elementary school class in Constructed Languages
At my daughter's elementary school I'm teaching an after school enrichment
class about constructed languages. This is a revision of a class I did
last year that was only about Klingon. For fun (and because last year I
never got around to sharing the class materials with people who asked for
them) I'm putting the materials together as web pages. So far just the
first week is online, but as each class progresses I'll fill the web page
link below. Next week I'll present Hello/Goodbye/Hunh? from the
"Traveler's Phrasebook", as well as some games using Klingon number words.
The next two weeks will present some simple Klingon vocabulary and grammar
with translation exercises. The last week we'll play with a language
we'll make up together - primarily a relexification language.
