So, you're the new recruit I'm supposed to be tutoring? Quit pouting. Try not to reinforce every bad stereotype of American kids, all right? I've been there; I know that not every American under 30 is a spoiled, self-serving brat, but most people here don't.
How many languages do you speak already?
JUST ENGLISH?! Jesus Christ...what do they teach you over there? When do you start learning foreign languages? Thirteen? Christ, by then there's no point to it!
Anyway, you're only seven. I know you're only seven because all sorceresses are recruited at age seven, even if I hadn't seen your personal info in the databases already. But anyway, seven years old is still young enough to learn a new language.
Start with the basics; you've got a new alphabet to learn. Fortunately, most of our letters translate directly into your alphabet. That means they're basically the same thing, all right? Here's a worksheet (http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/421497762/0.jpg) with all of them on it. Don't lose it.
I expect you to learn all of them, and what order they're in in our alphabet. Make flash cards or something; I don't know.
If you want to try writing English words with Kehjistani letters, be really careful about what you write. Don't use "sol-hel" for SH, "gul" to spell "genius" or something...that loses you a lot of points on tests.
Tests? Of course. How else do you expect me to monitor your progress?
Don't give me that look. See you tomorrow.
Of course it was short. This is just a brief introductory meeting. I've got you for two hours tomorrow.
