She could remember being a lot younger and just staring at him as if he wasn't even speaking English at all. In a way, she guessed he wasn't. It was English mixed in with his accent. Hmm. Odd that she'd finally picked up on it.

She raised her hand as he asked the first question. "Is it Galdrastafir?" she asked, saying the word slowly to try and get the pronunciation right.

She leaned forward on her desk and tried to get a better eye on this professor who was so difficult to understand.

He raised his hand. "I think they're called galdrastafir,'' the boy said.

Glad-ras? ...Okay maybe it was better she didn't attempt saying it. She really did want to answer though. She wanted to put in some input, anything really.

The red head raised her hand, feeling a little silly as to what she was going to say. "The Gladras.." Oh Gosh. Nope she couldn't say it. "Professor, I'd make a fool of myself if I had to pronounce it, but what they're saying is correct, I think." Truth be told, she wasn't sure if it was correct at all. So she hoped what most of the kids had been saying was true, cause if not well than this lesson just got more embarrassing towards Nessie.

Then... let's make a guess. But Kat was all ears at what the others were repling. Ok, she now knew the pronunciation. "Galdrastafir," Kat answered. "Right, professor?"

Tristan listened as the students answered. "Ya. Very god. Galdrastafir iz ze colleczon o' magical staves." He nodded at them. "Or more simply put, ze Galdor staves, az somevon the young miss said." But Galdrastafir was the proper terminology that they would be tested on.

Flicking his wand, Tristan transcribed his notes onto the board:

"Tell me von of ze the staves and its meaning."
