The most memorable lesson is the "no" journal. It is my first to know that there are so many ways to express negation and observe the "no" journal in my daily life. It provides a really great opportunity for me to learn. Thank you, professor Malinowski. #ling107f22 #finalthoughts

@SapphyLi Hi Saifei,
I also pronounce Coyote as "Kai-oat." 😂 It is easy to make a mistake in some words. When I didn't know how to pronounce these words, I always read the way I want. I like Coyote Hills Regional Park because the scenery is superb!

[Saifei @SapphyLi]

I came across a set of beautiful photos of Coyote Hills Regional Park and then told my friend that " Kai-oat" Park is a great place to hike. She laughed and said that people usually pronounce it as "Kai-oat-ee". Does anyone read it like me? #Ling107f22

When I want to go to the park with my brother, I always ask him, "would you want to go THE park with me?" We all know where the park is located. It is the Fremont center park, and near to my house. #ling107f22

@KaseyMoon20 It's important to teach phonics in the classroom. Children can learn the letter-sound relationships and how to read. Phonics teaches them the sounds of each letter and the way to change words' meanings. I think phonics is beneficial to make learning English. #ling107f22

@Maggiekwok0824 Linguistically, we have to say “turn off the light” because it references the first residential light switches that were rotary. You need to turn the light clockwise to switch it on or off.#ling107f22

I have always wondered about the past, present, and future tenses in English. Ex: I finished my homework, I am doing my homework now, or I will do my homework. These sentences are the same meaning, and all use the same Chinese words to explain. #ling107f22

@laurensjsu Hi Lauren, you asked a great question. I also have the same issue as you. I am not a native English speaker and am always confused about using tense in a sentence.

I work at an after-school program. I asked students, "do not go outside," and "do not open the door by yourself" when the class was over. These sentences are direct "strongly" to phrase something. The strong modal works out for disobedient students. #Ling107f22

My language role model is my father. He really knows how to use language in a particularly inspirational way. He has his own way of communicating with others. He always uses fancy words to make people feel happy. #ling107f22

This morning at 9 am, I drove 30 mins to SJSU because my class starts at 10 am. I tried to find a parking spot in the south parking lot. Unfortunately, I wasted one hour trying to find a place. This is a lesson I've learned while at SJSU. #cnftweet #ling107f22

We can see this sign in our daily life. Negation with NO signs is very common in public places. I found this sign in a public central park. This is important because it can remain people do no smoke on grass, which will effect fire. #ling107f22

Communication disorders: I learned the word in my CHAD class. It is used when studying cognitive development. It is a developmental disorder and focuses on developmental delays. I don't have a hard time figuring out the word class. #ling107f22

I am recommending @LaymansLinguist. They provide much information for both linguists and laypeople and fun examples to help learners easier to understand. #Ling107f22

It is difficult to pronounce the /ph/ sound. Ex: phone, physical, and paragraph. The /ph/ sound is a combination of two consonants and makes the /F/ sound. Pronouncing/ph/ is a challenge for English learners because the sound is nothing like the “F” sound. #ling107f22

[Ying Zheng @YingZheng22]

My word so tricky to pronounce because I am Chinese, and there are a lot of differences between English pronounce. I struggle to learn it and improve my English speaking. I think it'd be hard to teach.

[Ying Zheng @YingZheng22]

I actually see this sign every time I go to San Jose. When I saw the words the first time, I thought they pronounced "San"+"Jo"+"Se." My friend remained me it pronounces the/sæn//həʊˈzeɪ/ sound. #ling107f22

[Ying Zheng @YingZheng22]

I can always see this sign when walking in the school or parks. I suddenly wondered about the word "Free" because there are so many meanings: Is this means feel free to smoke? Will the sentence and picture make people mixed up? #ling107s22
