Alyssa took a look at the worksheets again when the Instructor explained to them how each syllable would possibly sound.

'Hmmm...they seem to sound almost like how we would pronounce our vowels. Especially the A.' Alyssa looked at what he had written on the board. Then she looked again and her brows furrowed. E sounded the same as AA, u sounded the same as OO. 'Man. It's not as easy as it sounds after all.' Alyssa realized before turning to the worksheets.

'Okay let's give this a try.'

Alyssa tried pronouncing the word for Ouch which was Ah-ee. "Ah-eeeeee"....'Heh...Sounds like Ow-wie.' Alyssa thought to herself even as she muffled her laugh. "Ah-eeeee....Ah-eeee."

Then she tried another word. Maybe a greeting would be nice. She searched the words in the worksheet but all she could find was It which translated into Uhff, Is which translated to mermish was Fan, Good which was Ghood, See which was Lusa and You which in mermish was EM. Looking up at the blackboard, she began formulating the pronunction of each word.

"Oo-F....F-ah-n...G-oo-d...L-oo-sah...A-m" Alyssa tried pronouncing the words. Was she right?

Alyssa then noticed similarities in some of the Mermish words written on the worksheet. Some translated into English had the same meaning. So she raised her hand.

"Sir, I noticed that some Mermish words have the same meaning when translated into English. Like for example, according to the worksheets, Uhff and Lle in the worksheet both mean It, both Eeas and Heh mean Yes, Toh and Ungh means No, Suron and Ccuuoo means Wave and Kila and Ss translates to Many." Alyssa paused looking for more similarites which she knew that there were more. But she decided that she had given enough examples.

"Uh...when do we know when to use either one?" Alyssa hoped that her question wasn't too complicated.
