Weekly Vocab 5-8 in Ayeri

Hey!

If you're interested or not, I'll keep on posting my
translations :-P Here come the Vocabs 5 to 8 in Ayeri. This
time, it does not seem to be so difficult as the one with
"Les Miserables", except Vocab 8. The order of the Vocabs is
reversed because I once got sent all 30 Vocabs in one file,
but chronologically ordered from newest to oldest.
