Dipthongs+in+French

==Hey my peeps! It is Sydney, who's totally enjoying her three day weekend right now! I still can't believe there's no shool tommorow. Although, I am loving the fact! == ==So today, there's one thing I have in mind...//dipthongs.// Call me crazy, if you must! Have you guys seen that episode of iCarly when they're all, "//And now a word from our Spencer,"// and he's like "//DIPTHONGS!!!"// Okay, so who knows what a dipthong is! I don't, and I seriously doubt anybody does. But it's funny! Well, I had a real live experience when some one was talking about dipthongs __seriously__. I know, it's insane!!! == ==So, I was in in French at about 7:30 am. He was pointing to all these random words. Of couse, I don't know what the heck he's talking about. I mean, who did? Anyways, he pointed to these words and he's like, "Okay so who knows what these are?" Nobody raises their hands, because of course, as I mentioned earlier, we really don't know what he's talking about, so he tells us the answer. Enthusiasticly, he says, "DIPTHONGS!!!" So everybody starts cracking up, and he doesn't even know what we're laughing about! And THAT makes it even funnier! Even the word sounds funny! Like it sounds like thongs and dips. Almost like, maybe you have a dip in your thong! Or, even funnier, thongs in your dip! Gross, but I'm laughing out loud! I wonder what Mr. Norridin thought we were laughing about. == == Okay, so do you know what it really means? I read of the web that it's a vowel sound that starts near the articulatory position for one vowel and moves toward the position for another. Weirdness! Okay, my friends,I'll blog you later! Bye! ==
