THIS IS TLY ONE OF THE ONLY THGS WHERE I WAS MAD ABOUT 4TH GRA, AND NOW AS AN ADULT I'M GLAD I LEARNED . UALLY ADULTS ARE FULL OF SH WHEN THEY SAY "OH YOU'LL UNRSTAND WHEN YOU'RE OLR". CURSIVE IS LIKE THE ONLY ONE LOLFALLOUT-LOU-BEGASFOLLOWGIVEN A CURRENT GENERATN OF STUNTS WHICH SO FEW N READ OR WRE CURSIVE, ONE NNOT ASSUME WILL EVER AGA SERVE AS AN EFFECTIVE FORM OF MUNITN. I ASKED MY STUNTS ABOUT THE IMPLITNS OF WHAT THEY HAD TOLD ME, FOCG FIRST ON THEIR EXPERIENCE AS STUNTS. NO, MOST OF THE HISTORY STUNTS ADMTED, THEY ULD NOT READ MANCRIPTS. IF THEY WERE ASSIGNED A REARCH PAPER, THEY SOUGHT SUBJECTS THAT RELIED ONLY ON PUBLISHED SOURC. ONE STUNT RHAPED HIS SENR HONORS THIS FOR THIS PURPOSE; ANOTHER REPORTED THAT SHE DID NOT PURSUE HER TERT VIRGIA WOOLF FOR AN ASSIGNMENT THAT WOULD HAVE VOLVED READG WOOLF’S HANDWRTEN LETTERS. IN THE FUTURE, CURSIVE WILL HAVE TO BE TGHT TO SCHOLARS THE WAY ELIZABETHAN SECRETARY HAND OR PALEOGRAPHY IS TODAY.WHAT ABOUT HANDWRG YOUR PERSONAL LIV? I WENT ON. ONE STUNT REPORTED THAT HE HAD TO ASK HIS PARENTS TO “TRANSLATE” HANDWRTEN LETTERS OM HIS GRANDPARENTS. I ASKED THE STUNTS IF THEY MA GROCERY LISTS, KEPT JOURNALS, OR WROTE THANK-YOU OR NDOLENCE LETTERS. ALMOST ALL SAID Y. ALMOST ALL SAID THEY DID SO ON LAPTOPS AND PHON OR SOMETIM ON PAPER BLOCK LETTERS. FOR MANY YOUNG PEOPLE, “HANDWRG,” ONCE SENTIALLY SYNONYMO WH CURSIVE, HAS E TO MEAN THE PASTAKG PRTG THEY TURN TO WHEN NECSY DICTAT.DURG MY YEARS AS HARVARD PRINT, I REGARD THE HANDWRTEN NOTE AS A KD OF SUPERPOWER. I WROTE HUNDREDS OF THEM AND KEPT A PILE OF NOTE RDS THE UPPER-LEFT-HAND DRAWER OF MY SK. THEY PROVID A WAY TO REACH OUT AND SAY: I AM NOTICG YOU. THIS MSAGE OF THANKS OR NGRATULATNS OR SYMPATHY NOT OM SOME STAFF PERSON OR SOME MACHE BUT DIRECTLY OM ME. I TOUCHED AND HOPE TOUCH YOU. NOW I WONR HOW MANY RECIPIENTS OF THE MSAG ULD NOT READ THEM.THE DIVIDUAL ABILY TO READ CURSIVE ISN'T SO IMPORTANT JT BEE 'S OLD AND CLASSY, AND THE ARGUMENT THAT THE ARTICLE IS MAKG IS SO MUCH MORE THAN "MAN FUCK THE KIDS FOR NOT LEARNG PROPER HANDWRG GRRRR!" WHETHER YOU GIVE A SH ABOUT WHAT A HARVARD PRINT WOULD SAY MOST OF THE TIME (I SURE DON'T) THIS SAY IS VERY PARTICULARLY ABOUT HOW WORRYG THIS LOSS OF KNOWLEDGE IS FOR STUNTS' ABILI TO UNRSTAND HANDWRTEN PRIMARY SOURC, WHICH IS TROUBLG FOR THE FUTURE OF LLEGE-LEVEL REARCH NTEXTS AND STUNTS' ABILI TO PURSUE THEIR POTENTIAL AND THEIR CURSI ON THAT LEVEL, BUT IS ALSO REALLY SAD PRENT AND QUOTIDIAN NTEXTS BEE THE EXTCTN OF PREHENDG CURSIVE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN A LOSS OF GOOD SIGNATURBABAYAGA-OFFICIALFOLLOWI WANTED TO REBLOG THIS AGA WH SOME ACTUAL ROURC FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LEARN IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND EE.EACH LOWERSE AND UPPERSE LETTER HAS A PAGE THAT CLUS:A VIO SHOWG EXACTLY HOW TO FORM THE LETTER, VIOS ON HOW THE LETTER LOOKS AT THE BEGNG OF THE WORD AND THE MIDDLE OF THE WORD, AND EE DOWNLOADABLE WORKSHEETS THAT YOU N TRACE OVER AND PRACTICE ON.ALL OF THIS IS EE. (THE ONLY CHARGE I SEE IS IF YOU WANT TO DOWNLOAD ALL THE WORKSHEETS A BUNDLE; THEY HAVE AN ETSY SHOP FOR THAT, AND YOU ULD BUY EVERYTHG THERE FOR LS THAN $4. YOU N ALSO JT DOWNLOAD THEM ONE AT A TIME OM THEIR SE, FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHG.)ANOTHER EE SE, , LOOKS HELPFUL BUT POSSIBLY MORE FOCED ON REFG ONE'S HANDWRG RATHER THAN LEARNG OM SCRATCH.I THK LEGIBILY IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN NSISTENCY OR MATCHG AN ATHETIC STANDARD (UNLS YOU FEEL MOVED TO MAKE HANDWRG A HOBBY OF YOURS, WHICH I'M TOLD N BE FUN BUT IS NOT AT ALL NECSARY).I'M MY MID-30S, SO I LEARNED CURSIVE SCHOOL, AND I'VE BEEN WRG WH FOR MANY YEARS; SOME OF MY LETTER FORMS ARE A LTLE STREAMLED AND VIATE A B OM THE STANDARD THAT YOU SEE ON THE PAG. I LOVE THAT MY WRG HAS CHARACTER, AND 'S STILL VERY EASY TO READ IF YOU'VE LEARNED THE SHAP.DON'T LET THE STANDARDIZED NATURE OF THE EXAMPL SRE YOU OFF; JT LEARN THEM AS A STARTG POT, AND YOU'LL NATURALLY VELOP YOUR OWN DISTCTIVE SP ON THEM AS YOU GO. IT'S A JOY!WRG WHOUT LIFTG YOUR PEN FOR EVERY SGLE LETTER IS CREDIBLY EFUL FOR GETTG THOUGHTS DOWN QUICKLY AND FOR THKG FLUIDLY ON PAPER, AND BEG ABLE TO READ A VERY MON AND WISPREAD FORM OF MUNITN WILL HELP YOU LOTS OF AREAS OF YOUR LIFE.GAY-LANGUAGE-NERDHOMUNCUL-ARGUMENTHOMUNCUL-ARGUMENTFOLLOWI STILL REALLY WANT TO SEE A STORY-DRIVEN GAME THAT WOULD RPORATE LANGUAGE LEARNG TO THE GAME MECHANIC. STARTG WH SGULAR WORDS AND SIMPLE SENTENC, DUOLGO-STYLE, WH ALL KDS OF MIGAM WHERE THE GOAL IS TO EHER NSTCT A SENTENCE, UNRSTAND STCTNS, BEG ABLE TO RELL THE RRECT WORDS AT THE RIGHT TIME, BUT 'S SET TO A STORY THAT YOU PLAY THROUGH.THIS ULD BE A WHOLE GENRE OF GAM, WH DIFFERENT LOTNS BASED ON WHAT LANGUAGE YOU'RE LEARNG, BUT THE BASIC FORMAT WOULD BE PRETTY SIAR EACH TIME. YOUR CHARACTER HAS BEEN DROPPED THE MIDDLE OF A PLETELY NEW PLACE WHERE THEY DON'T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE AT ALL, YOU MEET CHARACTERS WHO QUICKLY REALISE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE A WAY TO MUTUALLY MUNITE, AND START TEACHG YOU AS YOU TAG ALONG TO WHATEVER THEY ARE DOG.THERE WOULD FELY BE A LEARNG CURVE, BUT AS THE CHARACTERS UNRSTAND THAT YOU DON'T UNRSTAND, THEY START WH SIMPLE SENTENC. "MY NAME IS AILA. THIS IS MY DGHTER. MY DGHTER'S NAME IS LENA. WHAT IS YOUR NAME?", AND ONCE YOU'VE FIGURED OUT THE VERY BASICS, THEY PROGRSIVELY GET MORE ADVANCED.NATURALLY WOULDN'T BE ONLY GRAMMAR TTS AND VOBULARY QUIZZ, THERE WOULD FELY BE MORE TASKS AND MORE STANDARD GAME PUZZL AS WELL, BUT THE STCTNS YOU ARE GIVEN ARE ALSO THE TARGET LANGUAGE. THE WHOLE POT OF HAVG A PLOT IS BEG IMMERSIVE, AND WEAVG THE LEARNG TO THE GAME.LIKE THE PARTY YOU ARE TRAVELLG WH NEEDS YOU TO GET SI A HOE TO FETCH A SPECIFIC EM, AND YOU ARE TOLD - THE TARGET LANGUAGE - WHAT TO DO, WHERE, AND WHEN. "GO THROUGH THE SEND WDOW ON THE BACK. THE BOOK IS THE LIVG ROOM, ON THE TABLE. THERE IS A DOG, DO NOT WAKE UP." AND WHETHER YOU ACPLISH THE MISSN IS ABOUT EQUALLY ABOUT THE CHALLENGE OF THE MISSN SELF, AS HOW WELL YOU UNRSTAND AND REMEMBER THE STCTNS.MAYBE ALSO QUICK TIME EVENTS, WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY SOMETHG RRECTLY WH A VERY LIMED TIME RANGE, AND THE FATE OF YOUR PARTY PENDS ON WHETHER YOU N QUICKLY PICK THE RIGHT DIALOGUE OPTN. A R IS G AND YOU'VE GOT 30 SENDS TO PICK A WORD OR SENTENCE OM 3 OPTNS, IF YOU WELL " A R IS G!" THEY'LL HAVE MORE TIME TO ACT THAN IF YOU CHOOSE "LOOK OUT!" AND IF YOU EHER DO NOTHG OR CHOOSE THE PLETELY WRONG ONE AND YELL "MONDAY!", YOU LOST.EVERY ONCE A WHILE YOU ALSO OVERHEAR DIALOGUE (NSIRG THE ADD DIFFICULTY OF HEARG PREHENSN, I THK THE GAME WOULD NEED TO BE LARGELY TEXT-BASED, OR AT LEAST HAVE SUBTL) OR FD LETTERS/NOT/ETC THAT YOU DON'T UNRSTAND AT ALL, WHICH N WORK AS FORHADOWG OR WORLDBUILDG - UNRSTANDG ANYTHG OUT OF THE WOULDN'T BE VAL TO PROGRSG THE GAME, BUT TRYG TO DUCE SOME THEIR MEANG ON A HUNCH IS REWARD SOME WAY, AS AN ADD BON OR EASTER EGG.VERY EARLY ON THE GAME YOU GET THE DIALOGUE OPTN OF ASKG "WHAT DO _____ MEAN?", AND THE CHARACTERS TRY TO EXPLA TO YOU, POT AT THE ENVIRONMENT, OR E A NOTEPAD TO DRAW WHAT THE WORD MEANS. EVERY CHARACTER EXPLAS THE SAME WORD SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY, SO YOU N ASK EVERY SGLE MEMBER OF THE PARTY THE SAME QUTN IF YOU DON'T UNRSTAND THE FIRST ONE.AS THE STORY PROGRS AND THE LANGUAGE GETS MORE PLITED, YOU MAY ALSO NOTICE THAT DIFFERENT CHARACTERS HAVE A VARIED AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE SAME THGS, AND GIVE A DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF TAIL ABOUT THE SAME THGS - IF YOU ASK ONE OF THEM WHAT [WORD] MEANS, ONE OF THEM SAYS "'S A GUN", WHILE ANOTHER ONE WILL TELL YOU THAT 'S A SPECIFIC KD OF SHOTGUN, AND DRAW YOU A PICTURE OF TWO SHOTGUNS, CIRCLG THE ONE THAT IS THE SPECIFIC TYPE.CONSIRG THE NATURE OF LANGUAGE LEARNG, THE GENRE OF THE GAME WOULD FELY BE MYSTERY - AS YOU START TO UNRSTAND MORE AND MORE OF THE LANGUAGE, YOU ALSO START TO PIERCE TOGETHER THE ANSWERS OF YOUR OWN STORY. WHERE ARE YOU, AND HOW DID YOU END UP THERE? WHO EVEN ARE THE PEOPLE, AND WHAT ARE THEY TRYG TO DO? WHAT ARE THEY TRYG TO ACHIEVE WH THE TASKS YOU HAVE BEEN HELPG THEM WH, AND WHY ARE THEY HELPG YOU THE FIRST PLACE?A GAME LIKE THIS WOULD FELY HAVE THE RISK OF BEG MENTALLY DRAG, SO THERE WOULD NEED TO BE A LOT OF -BETWEEN BREATHER PARTS, THE OPTN TO REGULARLY GO EXPLORE, CRAFT AND DO STUFF THAT REQUIR NO BORG GRAMMAR TASKS OR WORD MEMORISATN, BUT WHICH STILL CLUS LTLE THGS THAT KEEP THE LEARNG PROCS FUN AND REWARDG.LIKE HEY, WHILE EXPLORG THIS PLACE YOU FOUND A T BOX WH TWO WORDS WRTEN ON AND A PICTURE OF A LEMON. YOU DON'T KNOW THE OTHER WORD BUT YOU KNOW THE OTHER ONE IS "TEA". YOU RRECTLY DUCE THAT THIS IS LEMON TEA. YOU BRG TO THE CHARACTER WHO MENTNED LIKG TEA, AND SHE IS LIGHTED.

18 GAY BOY

|| No hate:) Only GAYS.

PiratBack the Goln Era of Piracy (1650-1730s), homosexualy was somethg you did rather than who you were, and was highly stigmatized on land and illegal most plac. It’s thought that lavenr beme for gay bee ’s created by mixg pk and blue—lors which are culturally nnected to girls or boys—th blurrg the distctn of what is feme or mascule.

One sweet e of this lor nnectn wh the queer muny is on Valente’s Day, lavenr ros are often the choice of LGBTQ+ (the Greek letter)In the early 1970′s, based on the remendatn of Tom Doerr, New York Cy’s Gay Activists Alliance chose as s symbol the Greek letter lambda, which looks like a lowerse “y” flipped upsi down, bee ’s ed science to reprent ketic energy.

FOR MANY YOUNG PEOPLE, “HANDWRG,” ONCE SENTIALLY SYNONYMO WH CURSIVE, HAS E TO MEAN THE PASTAKG PRTG THEY TURN TO WHEN NECSY DICTAT.DURG MY YEARS AS HARVARD PRINT, I REGARD THE HANDWRTEN NOTE AS A KD OF SUPERPOWER. I WROTE HUNDREDS OF THEM AND KEPT A PILE OF NOTE RDS THE UPPER-LEFT-HAND DRAWER OF MY SK. THEY PROVID A WAY TO REACH OUT AND SAY: I AM NOTICG YOU. THIS MSAGE OF THANKS OR NGRATULATNS OR SYMPATHY NOT OM SOME STAFF PERSON OR SOME MACHE BUT DIRECTLY OM ME. I TOUCHED AND HOPE TOUCH YOU. NOW I WONR HOW MANY RECIPIENTS OF THE MSAG ULD NOT READ THEM.THE DIVIDUAL ABILY TO READ CURSIVE ISN'T SO IMPORTANT JT BEE 'S OLD AND CLASSY, AND THE ARGUMENT THAT THE ARTICLE IS MAKG IS SO MUCH MORE THAN "MAN FUCK THE KIDS FOR NOT LEARNG PROPER HANDWRG GRRRR!" WHETHER YOU GIVE A SH ABOUT WHAT A HARVARD PRINT WOULD SAY MOST OF THE TIME (I SURE DON'T) THIS SAY IS VERY PARTICULARLY ABOUT HOW WORRYG THIS LOSS OF KNOWLEDGE IS FOR STUNTS' ABILI TO UNRSTAND HANDWRTEN PRIMARY SOURC, WHICH IS TROUBLG FOR THE FUTURE OF LLEGE-LEVEL REARCH NTEXTS AND STUNTS' ABILI TO PURSUE THEIR POTENTIAL AND THEIR CURSI ON THAT LEVEL, BUT IS ALSO REALLY SAD PRENT AND QUOTIDIAN NTEXTS BEE THE EXTCTN OF PREHENDG CURSIVE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN A LOSS OF GOOD SIGNATURBABAYAGA-OFFICIALFOLLOWI WANTED TO REBLOG THIS AGA WH SOME ACTUAL ROURC FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LEARN IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND EE.EACH LOWERSE AND UPPERSE LETTER HAS A PAGE THAT CLUS:A VIO SHOWG EXACTLY HOW TO FORM THE LETTER, VIOS ON HOW THE LETTER LOOKS AT THE BEGNG OF THE WORD AND THE MIDDLE OF THE WORD, AND EE DOWNLOADABLE WORKSHEETS THAT YOU N TRACE OVER AND PRACTICE ON.ALL OF THIS IS EE. (THE ONLY CHARGE I SEE IS IF YOU WANT TO DOWNLOAD ALL THE WORKSHEETS A BUNDLE; THEY HAVE AN ETSY SHOP FOR THAT, AND YOU ULD BUY EVERYTHG THERE FOR LS THAN $4. YOU N ALSO JT DOWNLOAD THEM ONE AT A TIME OM THEIR SE, FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHG.)ANOTHER EE SE, , LOOKS HELPFUL BUT POSSIBLY MORE FOCED ON REFG ONE'S HANDWRG RATHER THAN LEARNG OM SCRATCH.I THK LEGIBILY IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN NSISTENCY OR MATCHG AN ATHETIC STANDARD (UNLS YOU FEEL MOVED TO MAKE HANDWRG A HOBBY OF YOURS, WHICH I'M TOLD N BE FUN BUT IS NOT AT ALL NECSARY).I'M MY MID-30S, SO I LEARNED CURSIVE SCHOOL, AND I'VE BEEN WRG WH FOR MANY YEARS; SOME OF MY LETTER FORMS ARE A LTLE STREAMLED AND VIATE A B OM THE STANDARD THAT YOU SEE ON THE PAG. I LOVE THAT MY WRG HAS CHARACTER, AND 'S STILL VERY EASY TO READ IF YOU'VE LEARNED THE SHAP.DON'T LET THE STANDARDIZED NATURE OF THE EXAMPL SRE YOU OFF; JT LEARN THEM AS A STARTG POT, AND YOU'LL NATURALLY VELOP YOUR OWN DISTCTIVE SP ON THEM AS YOU GO. IT'S A JOY!WRG WHOUT LIFTG YOUR PEN FOR EVERY SGLE LETTER IS CREDIBLY EFUL FOR GETTG THOUGHTS DOWN QUICKLY AND FOR THKG FLUIDLY ON PAPER, AND BEG ABLE TO READ A VERY MON AND WISPREAD FORM OF MUNITN WILL HELP YOU LOTS OF AREAS OF YOUR LIFE.GAY-LANGUAGE-NERDHOMUNCUL-ARGUMENTHOMUNCUL-ARGUMENTFOLLOWI STILL REALLY WANT TO SEE A STORY-DRIVEN GAME THAT WOULD RPORATE LANGUAGE LEARNG TO THE GAME MECHANIC. STARTG WH SGULAR WORDS AND SIMPLE SENTENC, DUOLGO-STYLE, WH ALL KDS OF MIGAM WHERE THE GOAL IS TO EHER NSTCT A SENTENCE, UNRSTAND STCTNS, BEG ABLE TO RELL THE RRECT WORDS AT THE RIGHT TIME, BUT 'S SET TO A STORY THAT YOU PLAY THROUGH.THIS ULD BE A WHOLE GENRE OF GAM, WH DIFFERENT LOTNS BASED ON WHAT LANGUAGE YOU'RE LEARNG, BUT THE BASIC FORMAT WOULD BE PRETTY SIAR EACH TIME. YOUR CHARACTER HAS BEEN DROPPED THE MIDDLE OF A PLETELY NEW PLACE WHERE THEY DON'T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE AT ALL, YOU MEET CHARACTERS WHO QUICKLY REALISE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE A WAY TO MUTUALLY MUNITE, AND START TEACHG YOU AS YOU TAG ALONG TO WHATEVER THEY ARE DOG.THERE WOULD FELY BE A LEARNG CURVE, BUT AS THE CHARACTERS UNRSTAND THAT YOU DON'T UNRSTAND, THEY START WH SIMPLE SENTENC. "MY NAME IS AILA. THIS IS MY DGHTER. MY DGHTER'S NAME IS LENA. WHAT IS YOUR NAME?", AND ONCE YOU'VE FIGURED OUT THE VERY BASICS, THEY PROGRSIVELY GET MORE ADVANCED.NATURALLY WOULDN'T BE ONLY GRAMMAR TTS AND VOBULARY QUIZZ, THERE WOULD FELY BE MORE TASKS AND MORE STANDARD GAME PUZZL AS WELL, BUT THE STCTNS YOU ARE GIVEN ARE ALSO THE TARGET LANGUAGE. THE WHOLE POT OF HAVG A PLOT IS BEG IMMERSIVE, AND WEAVG THE LEARNG TO THE GAME.LIKE THE PARTY YOU ARE TRAVELLG WH NEEDS YOU TO GET SI A HOE TO FETCH A SPECIFIC EM, AND YOU ARE TOLD - THE TARGET LANGUAGE - WHAT TO DO, WHERE, AND WHEN. "GO THROUGH THE SEND WDOW ON THE BACK. THE BOOK IS THE LIVG ROOM, ON THE TABLE. THERE IS A DOG, DO NOT WAKE UP." AND WHETHER YOU ACPLISH THE MISSN IS ABOUT EQUALLY ABOUT THE CHALLENGE OF THE MISSN SELF, AS HOW WELL YOU UNRSTAND AND REMEMBER THE STCTNS.MAYBE ALSO QUICK TIME EVENTS, WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY SOMETHG RRECTLY WH A VERY LIMED TIME RANGE, AND THE FATE OF YOUR PARTY PENDS ON WHETHER YOU N QUICKLY PICK THE RIGHT DIALOGUE OPTN. A R IS G AND YOU'VE GOT 30 SENDS TO PICK A WORD OR SENTENCE OM 3 OPTNS, IF YOU WELL " A R IS G!" THEY'LL HAVE MORE TIME TO ACT THAN IF YOU CHOOSE "LOOK OUT!" AND IF YOU EHER DO NOTHG OR CHOOSE THE PLETELY WRONG ONE AND YELL "MONDAY!", YOU LOST.EVERY ONCE A WHILE YOU ALSO OVERHEAR DIALOGUE (NSIRG THE ADD DIFFICULTY OF HEARG PREHENSN, I THK THE GAME WOULD NEED TO BE LARGELY TEXT-BASED, OR AT LEAST HAVE SUBTL) OR FD LETTERS/NOT/ETC THAT YOU DON'T UNRSTAND AT ALL, WHICH N WORK AS FORHADOWG OR WORLDBUILDG - UNRSTANDG ANYTHG OUT OF THE WOULDN'T BE VAL TO PROGRSG THE GAME, BUT TRYG TO DUCE SOME THEIR MEANG ON A HUNCH IS REWARD SOME WAY, AS AN ADD BON OR EASTER EGG.VERY EARLY ON THE GAME YOU GET THE DIALOGUE OPTN OF ASKG "WHAT DO _____ MEAN?", AND THE CHARACTERS TRY TO EXPLA TO YOU, POT AT THE ENVIRONMENT, OR E A NOTEPAD TO DRAW WHAT THE WORD MEANS. EVERY CHARACTER EXPLAS THE SAME WORD SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY, SO YOU N ASK EVERY SGLE MEMBER OF THE PARTY THE SAME QUTN IF YOU DON'T UNRSTAND THE FIRST ONE.AS THE STORY PROGRS AND THE LANGUAGE GETS MORE PLITED, YOU MAY ALSO NOTICE THAT DIFFERENT CHARACTERS HAVE A VARIED AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE SAME THGS, AND GIVE A DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF TAIL ABOUT THE SAME THGS - IF YOU ASK ONE OF THEM WHAT [WORD] MEANS, ONE OF THEM SAYS "'S A GUN", WHILE ANOTHER ONE WILL TELL YOU THAT 'S A SPECIFIC KD OF SHOTGUN, AND DRAW YOU A PICTURE OF TWO SHOTGUNS, CIRCLG THE ONE THAT IS THE SPECIFIC TYPE.CONSIRG THE NATURE OF LANGUAGE LEARNG, THE GENRE OF THE GAME WOULD FELY BE MYSTERY - AS YOU START TO UNRSTAND MORE AND MORE OF THE LANGUAGE, YOU ALSO START TO PIERCE TOGETHER THE ANSWERS OF YOUR OWN STORY. WHERE ARE YOU, AND HOW DID YOU END UP THERE? WHO EVEN ARE THE PEOPLE, AND WHAT ARE THEY TRYG TO DO? WHAT ARE THEY TRYG TO ACHIEVE WH THE TASKS YOU HAVE BEEN HELPG THEM WH, AND WHY ARE THEY HELPG YOU THE FIRST PLACE?A GAME LIKE THIS WOULD FELY HAVE THE RISK OF BEG MENTALLY DRAG, SO THERE WOULD NEED TO BE A LOT OF -BETWEEN BREATHER PARTS, THE OPTN TO REGULARLY GO EXPLORE, CRAFT AND DO STUFF THAT REQUIR NO BORG GRAMMAR TASKS OR WORD MEMORISATN, BUT WHICH STILL CLUS LTLE THGS THAT KEEP THE LEARNG PROCS FUN AND REWARDG.LIKE HEY, WHILE EXPLORG THIS PLACE YOU FOUND A T BOX WH TWO WORDS WRTEN ON AND A PICTURE OF A LEMON. YOU DON'T KNOW THE OTHER WORD BUT YOU KNOW THE OTHER ONE IS "TEA". YOU RRECTLY DUCE THAT THIS IS LEMON TEA. YOU BRG TO THE CHARACTER WHO MENTNED LIKG TEA, AND SHE IS LIGHTED.
