Maybe for hillbillies...

EDIT: I think I said in one of the podcasts 'learn me some Swedish.' But that was a joke...
A joke with an audience of my one person - myself.

It kinda kills me inside that this is the right way in Swedish. XD
Jag lär mig svenska.
Han lär mig svenska.

Might as well do all three.
TAM - the holy trinity of verbs?

We recorded the profanity episode last night. :3

>_>

Damn internet creepers.

After much deep and profound thought-stuff inside my head, I have to concur.

I'd expect no less!

Me and Mr. Ossicone you say?


And well I might as put this here too:

How about a glass elevator on the outside of a building?

I hope this means you'd do him in a glas box.

There is also the fact that within 5 minutes of recording I promptly forget everything I've said. XD

I've had a couple of people ask me about something mentioned on the podcast and I'm usually just like "When did we talk about this?"

I am a huge fan of Dropbox! It definitely gets my seal of approval.
(I think I say so later in the episode, but maybe not.)

XD Yes, but if it's just me all you'll hear about is Inyauk and like knitting.

Yeah. I'm sure that after I move the schedule will change. You should feel sorry for poor Sko who was up until 4am talking to us!

There are some Sundays when I can record earlier, but recently I've had to work and couldn't. But I don't know about the others.

Aww man, after recording yesterday we were talking about the ridiculousness of example sentences. The ones in my grammar tend to be tamer and cat related. But the ones in my lexicon can be kinda silly like: 'He has the walk of a panther.' -- Nír ánsunaakirikaat. But most are culturally relavent like...

And I'm trying to swear less!

At least until episode 13...

I guess everyone will still have to put up with me on the podcast...

You will be rewarded with shrooms when I get back home safely!

I don't know! It depends on who has kidnapped me and who is going to save me!
Help! They're forcing me to talk about linguistics for the entertainment of others!

Oh wait...

Indeed! That's why I call you all bastards and be done with it.

Thanks! You can thank William for the improvement of sound quality.
Though I'm sure George has gotten better at editing too.
I'm just there for the sex appeal.

I had both of these and I still didn't learn Spanish.

Yes...
No wonder I find this whole formality thing overly complicated. XD
English-bias!

This seemed like something I should do. :D I look forward to making you read this! Welcome to Conlangery! The podcast about constructed languages and the people who create them.

That looks like good fun times!

Yeah. I've done most of it already. It'll be in my next update.

Just don't slay me when you see the cases/postpostions, okay?
