Lesson 1 of 3

Casting Call xu- 50/55

TIME TO CHOOSE A NEW ACTOR!

Because "xu" has the Simple Final Ü (YU) sound, the actor representing it will be represented by a World Leader. Here are some suggestions for "xu":

Caesar, Augustus
Caesar, Julius
Xi Jinping (Chinese President)
Shinzo Abe (Former Japanese Prime Minister)
Saddam Hussein
Chiang Kai-Shek
Kim Il-Sung
Schwarzenegger, Arnold

Once you have chosen your actor for "xu-" add your chosen actor to the "xu-" Anki card.

I chose Malcolm X


Mateusz Strzelecki

I picked Sitting Bull - one of the most famous Native Americans from the SIOUX Tribe

I gave up on Gods or world leaders just because they don't "pop" in my brain. I settled on the Old Lady that lives in a Shoe. I figured she's the Leader of that shoe anyway, I also figured that since I have all my other actors just this one won't trip me up too bad.


Chad Ressler

I had decided to go with WWF Wrestlers for this category, and for 'xu' I assigned Ric Flair.

Since this can also be gods, there's also the option of Shiva, Shakti, Kri-SH-na or Vi-SH-nu. Several of these could be relatively easy to imagine, since some are depicted with blue skin.

I'm using Greek and Roman gods with their planets for the ü characters. This one is Saturn.

I looked up gods that begin with X, I found an aztec one called Xolotl .
Since I have different types of Gods (Greek, Roman, Jewish, Norse, Egyptian) - this one rounds out the series.

I went with Xerxes. I always picture him saying "I am a benevolent god" in the movie 300.
