Extra Credit 2: (Well, the actual 'class' where I'm explaining what's going on is something like 350 words, but the lovebird keeps interrupting and the class does need to practice--all the italicized bits...and that isn't included in the word count...um...right? XD)

"Hullo, class. Or as my friend here on my shoulder would say, CHIRP tweet TWIRPY quee!"

(lovebird) CHIRPY tweet
(lovebird) chirp SQUAWK!

"Alright, have you all finished copying the words from the chalkboard? Right then. Headphones on. Can you all hear me? Turn the little knob on the side...excellent! Can you all hear me now, in your headphones? 'Okay.' Or, in lovebird language, squawk. Listen to it now."

(in headphones) squawk

"You all heard that now, didn't you? Try and say it then, all together:"

(class) squeawak
(lovebird) SQUAWK CHIRRUP SQUEE

"Ha. Oh dear. My friend the lovebird is laughing at you all. Try again, and this time sort of squawk under your breath..."

(class) squawk
(lovebird) squawk

"Much better! Now, 'water.'"

(headphones) squawk chirp
(class) squawk giggle chirp
(lovebird) Chirpy SQUEAKY SQUEE

"Let's try that again, now, no laughing while squawking please:"

(headphones) squawk chirp
(class) squawk chirp

"When excited, happy or angry, lovebirds tend to SCREEECH. When tired, scared, or in love, they tend to squawk quietly. They usually CHIRP and squeak in turns, but if they are happy and healthy they should make quite a bit of noise when they're up and about.

"Now, try this: 'My water.'"

(headphones) SCREECH squirp

"Do you hear the slang? Of course, lovebirds have slang just like anyone else. similar words are grouped together, and words are often slurred together for convenience."

(class) SCREECH squirp
(lovebird) SCREECHY squiry SQUEE TWIRP

"He's defending his water, now. In a way, he knows you're just playing, but still. See how his neck is stretched out and he's all tensed up, ready to fly at you? Let's calm him down, shall we? 'I am your friend.'"

(headphones) SCREECH CHIRikee kee
(class) SCREECH mumble mumble
(lovebird) SCREECH CHIRP SQUAWK screech screech

"Ah no. You've just insulted him, you have. You've called him something VERY nasty. Yup. Quickly now, before he starts nipping you all:"

(headphones) SCREECH CHIRikee kee
(class) SCREECH CHIRikee kee
(lovebird) chirp SQUEAK squawk

"See that, now? He's coming back to my shoulder. He doesn't trust you quite yet, but calling yourself 'friend' is equal to an apology. Lovebirds are never 'friends' they just bond with one mate. Companions, if you will. As you can see my little friend here is fine with that. Though of course, in a manner of speaking, I am actually his 'mate.' WHISTLE whistle SCREECH"

(lovebird) WHISTLE SCREECH chirp

"Class dismissed."

Meee-owwwwww !
Welcome to the first class of this term, where we will be learning how to speak the language of the Cat family. Now, regardless of what you may think, this is an extremely handy skill to have! So, on with the lesson!

This class will teach the basic wording of the Cat language with words based around the day-to-day life of a Cat. Words range from Hello to Goodbye, from food to milk and so on.

I greeted you all today with ‘Meee-owwwwww’ which simply means Hello. Try it after me – Meee-owwwwww. Good, good. As you can hear the word is said quite slowly with the ‘owwwwww’ lasting for roughly 6 seconds. The longer a word is sounded usually means that the Cat is happy or tired. Another example of this is the words for Tired and Sleep. ‘Mo-awoe’ is the word for Tired and is said very slowly, stressing the latter half of the word. ‘Mo’ is the simple word for Sleep and again is said very slowly. Let’s try reciting these three simple words – after me.

[The class follows suit and recites the words Hello, Tired & Sleep.]

Whenever a Cat is in trouble or agitated the words are usually sharp and quick, with a lot of ‘s’ sounding words floating around. For example, the word Enemy is pronounced as ‘Thsssss-rar.’ Try it.

[The class tries.]

Excellent! It’s a real hissing sound with all those ‘s’ in there! Another word is Alert, which is simply said as ‘Mur.’ Again, it’s quick, simple and straight to the point. Why don’t you try saying that?

[Again, the class follows tries saying the word.]

Very good! The last set of soundings we shall cover today is when a Cat is feeling playful and content. In this case there are a lot of ‘R’ sounding words. The word for play is ‘Wrar’ – even saying it sounds playful! Or what about toy? That sounds quite ‘rar-ish’ too – ‘Trawww.’ Or a simple ‘Purr’ is the word Love. Let’s try theses.

[The class again tries the words.]

Good good! Make sure to let the ‘R’s catch in the back of the throat as it gives it a really growly, neat sound. Anyway, that’s all for today’s class, hope to see you bright and early tomorrow when we will be covering proper sentences! Bye! Or should I say ‘Meoo!’
