Answer in the form of a question
Friday, January 20, 2006
First question: what happens when Rich Salamander makes a film? The Chronicles of Teddy, of course. Next question: where can you see other funny, interesting and/or pretty video pieces made by or starring people you might just know (if you live in Chicago)? I'd suggest a visit to Brian Hank Henry's Electric Age Media.
Third question: what happens when you put me in a Swedish for Immigrants language class? Well, I learn a whole lot and sometimes I pronounce a thing or four correctly. It's beyond interesting because it's the first language class I've taken where the teacher actually sticks to their guns on not speaking anything except the language being taught. From my experiences this usually doesn't work; barriers break down and English is used as a crutch to get a complex or important points across. Not in this class. I'd venture to say there's extremely little to no chance that the nice girl teaching us isn't going to utter anything else in English. She has these crafty ways of using simple Swedish to explain new words and phrases. Drawing on the whiteboard and pointing mixed with grunting noises has proved to work as well.
Fourth question: where do all of these people come from? Well, I'm the minority of the minorities in coming from North America. There's one other American out of my 23ish classmates. Here's where I remember others coming from....grab a map: China, Japan, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Lebanon, England, Iran, Iraq, India, Algeria, Sierra Leone, Brazil, Spain, France, Thailand and Sri Lanka.
Fifth question: what happens when I put off recording my own songs and cover 'Teenage Caveman' by Beat Happening? This is what happens when I cover 'Teenage Caveman' by Beat Happening.
