Homework:
Add the foods that we talked about today to the illustrated chart that you began for homework last lesson. Remember to use Google images or illustrate the chart yourself with your drawings if you prefer. Label the illustrations in Tsalagi ONLY so that you begin to associate the food name in Tsalagi with what it is visually rather than with its English name.
Language Notes:
1. As mentioned last lesson, in Tsalagi, when talking about having an object, different words are used depending on whether the object is solid, long and rigid, flexible, or liquid. Refer to the chart provided in the previous lesson.
2. Notice that many of the words for foods are the same whether singular or plural. The context tells you which one is meant.
