언어 퍼즐 102: 코드 해독 및 언어 패턴(Flex, 13-18세)

This Flex class is all about solving puzzles and code-breaking! If you've taken Linguistic Puzzles 101 and would like to solve more, this class presents four completely different puzzles from various world languages. You won't find the answers anywhere on the internet, and Google Translate won't help you! You'll need to develop your own strategy for figuring out the pattern in each language. 

Note: the first class (Linguistic Puzzles 101) is not required to take this class, since the puzzles are about the same level of difficulty.

CLASS FORMAT 
At the beginning of each week I will post a video along with a puzzle in a printable PDF. The video introduces brief information about a new language, and some basic concepts from linguistics. After watching the video, learners work through solving Part 1 of a linguistic puzzle (the video offers some strategies and tips).  After learners "crack the code," they send me their solution to Part 1, and I send them the second part of the puzzle. Each week, both Part 1 and Part 2 should be solved and submitted in the Classroom before moving on to the next week's puzzle. 

HINTS & HELP 
Don't worry about getting stuck on a puzzle: I offer hints or guidance whenever a learner requests it. 

TIME REQUIRED 
Each puzzle is different, so it is hard to predict how long each week's puzzle will take. I estimate that Part 1 and Part 2 together will take between 30 to 90 minutes to solve.  

DIFFICULTY LEVEL 
These are "intermediate" level puzzles. Learners who haven't solved a lot of puzzles before may find these challenging or frustrating. Learners who have a lot of experience with code-breaking (such as a linguistics competition) will find these easier. 

HOW DOES A FLEX COURSE WORK?  
In Flex classes, there are no live or scheduled meetings on zoom. I post a new video lesson each week, then interact with students through discussion posts and written replies. Flex classes allow the learner to enter the Outschool Classroom on their own time. 
          A Flex class is great for:  learners who can work on their own, and learners who prefer a flexible schedule. Learners will need access to a camera to post photos of some solutions. (Some solutions may just be typed in a message.) 
          A Flex class may *not* be a good choice for: learners who want a live class with live video interaction, learners who find it difficult or frustrating to work independently, or learners who won't be able to access the Classroom to post their solutions and ask for help. 

POLICIES - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
The refund policy for this class is "Flexible" (the most flexible option on Outschool). You may withdraw and obtain a full refund until the day of the first class. Starting on that date, if you choose to withdraw, you will receive a partial refund based on how many weekly videos have been posted in the Classroom. 

Please enroll only if you are ready to solve puzzles on a week-by-week basis. This is an *interactive* course, and Part 1 solutions should be attempted each week before subsequent puzzles are released. (Of course, if learners cannot solve the puzzles, they can communicate with me about what part they have solved, or how they tried to solve it, and I will respond with solutions and explanations.) 

Please note that enrolling in the class does not mean you have "purchased the course materials" for you to use indefinitely. After the specified end date of the class, the "Classroom" and course materials will only remain accessible for an additional 30 days. Thank you!
