Hi, Boys and Girls!

I need some help with my Linguistics homework. I really suck at transcribing words, so I need some help. This is where you guys come in. I am going to practice on your favourite words and names. I will draw out the symbols for you to practice. I might not choose everything, but please! please! consider helping.

Put a list of your favourite words (no naughty words please!), names, characters names and I will draw it out for you if I can. It'll be a great help and it'll also fill up my sketch book too

Constantinople....

I have no idea what to expect, but...

Flabbergasted.

And of course everyone's favorite:

Defenestration

Have fun!

Hmmm Paradox is my favorite word, so there ya go

Phantasmagoria is mine.

Let us start from short to long

Ale
Gin

Mead
Beer

Tonic
Vodka

Alcohol
Tankard

Landshark

Whatever one you like best

Oh oh oh! I have two!

Discombobulate

and

Scurryfunge

Oh this is fun! Shenanigans! and Paradigm

Can't wait to see what you come up with, hope you'll share back on this post

Masticate. Hoo hoo hee hee!

Paragon

Since someone took 'shenanigans' already.

Though I'm sure you have much on your plate already, may I suggest martyrdom, determination, and/or euthanasia?

You people are awful. I'm going to be doing a bunch of really simple words as prep (I tried to start, but got confused right away), and I should be starting them next week sometime

confusication!

Or antidisestablishmentarianism?

Oh boy I love words! Pardon me if mine aren't all in English, but I'll provide the meaning and language, just in case!

Nebulae
Frisson
Shepard
Serif
Beso (Spanish; A kiss)
Schadenfreude (German; Amusement at someone else's misfortune)
Vocero (Spanish; Voice)

Pleoclostomus. it's one of those aquarium sucker fishes that eat algae. I'll bet they give the best kisses.

Squeegee
Dolce
Vivace
Mingle

Oh how I love words! I use them all the time of course!

Okay, this is FAR too much for me to do. Thanks, though I'll work on them once I work on some smaller words - and I probably won't be doing anything non-English, simply because I'm having trouble doing it with small words. 38+ phonetic sounds is WAY harder than I thought!

Aww, I was going to say "Shenanigans," but then you had like a bazillion words already.

Good luck, Lily! You have our support!
