Speaking in Tongues [22/02] The Library, Friday afternoon

Karal might have seemed a little distracted, today. Not for any reason at all, really.

"Well, I thought that we could do things simply today. I have an idea or two for the next weeks, but we all need to have a bit of language in common for them to work. The best way to learn a language is to use it. So, for today, let's just talk. We can have conversations, about silly things, or serious things, or anything you want.

Pair up with someone and help them with a language they don't know, teach them some words and phrases, and then try them out." He rubbed his temple, looking a touch amused. "Any accidental offence should be ignored, please. Try not to, but sometimes it simply happens. I once called a Rethwellan dignitary a small, blue turnip, for example."

[ooc: the teaching part can be handwavey, feel free to jump into potentially amusing conversations as people don't quite get the language they've learned right the first time.]

Liir decided to get fancy and used... common Ozian.

He would hope for politeness, yes.

But he was there. In case anyone wished to attempt conversing in Mandarin.

Hoshi was definitely up to learning a new language today. "Could you say something in Karsite?" she requested.

John decided to greet Andrew in Al Bhed, rather randomly. "Tu oui ghuf frana dra pydrnuus ec?" His eyes clearly indicated he was being a dork.

"You don't say." Andrew looked at John as though he had just said something terribly interesting.

"Really, I can never remember in this building," John said, looking around. "So, you seem pretty happy?"

"I've got plenty to be happy about," he replied, eyes wandering over towards Liir.

"I take it things are still going good," John grinned. "You guys planning anything fun for break?"
