As mentioned in my previous post, I streamlined a lot of my daily routine. It comes hand in hand with the expected language learning exhaustion which hits me once a year. Last year I just focused on French for two months. This past month I’ve done something different. I…started learning Klingon! Do you know it’s considered a viable language? Yes, conlang can be viable languages and that has its own beauty, I feel. I mean, I learned a fair bit of elvish as a teenaged tolkien nerd (and how to write in the alphabet, although not perfectly since it was just from the appendices of the Allen Unwin editions of the LOTR etc). So it was fun to dive into Klingon, though I doubt I’d take up any of the university courses on Klingon!
I mean, if you’re going to be having dreams about Klingons almost every night, you’d better learn to talk to them!
Ha! Qapla!
This past week, I’ve been doing 10 mins of Klingon every night instead of the other languages. I did do a spot of Scottish today, though.
Chess? I’ve been working on my chess openings and flirting with the exercises in the Bobby Fischer books. Nothing else to report.
