Considering that this is your first class, we will touch up on the obvious parts of Transfiguration. Transfiguration is how us witches and wizards turn one object into another. The spells are pronounced with a thick, German scuff within the voice. "Turtle" would be pronounced "troytle." They take two phrases and combind them together. Here are some examples: aardvark is afrik, and butterfly is bufly . If you wanted to turn an aardvark into a butterfly, the phrase you would chant would be "AfrikBufly. ' The first part one the phrase is the term for the animal how it originally was, and the second half of the phrase is what it shall become. So then, if you were to turn an aarvark (afrik ) into a butterfly (bufly ), then you would say " Afrikbufly ." But remember to put the German slur into the sound of the phrase, so when said aloud it would sound like "Affrickbouflie ."
