Oh, right! Thank you. That's the problem with starting something and then finishing it like 2 months later: you lose track of what you were doing.

Okay, I'll take another run at fixing it up.

Your pluralisation table is missing 1st declension nouns ending in stressed vowels, which actually makes the exercise afterwards impossible:

The singular of "lapins" isn't "lapin" (so looking it up on Översteir won't give you any results), but rather "lapì". These types of nouns are often enough that they should be accounted for.

As for the complexity of it all: this (along with pronunciation and stress placement) is the type of thing I've always struggled with the most when making learning materials: all the complexity is front-loaded. In a way I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who's struggling.

I have updated the first and second lessons to include forms to type answers.  I lack the time and interest to make them actually check student answers, but that might be a project for a future day.

I would love suggestions for other practice sentences for the second lesson, in addition to "The foolish horse walked slowly in the massive stadium."  Anyone have any ideas?

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on June 13, 2025, 04:18:02 PMWHEREAS, it is in the province's interest to maintain records of its legal proceedings, similar to the national Scribery or the Fiovan Provincial Chancery; and

WHEREAS, we do not have anyone who is currently and clearly tasked with doing this; then

I HEREBY PROCLAIM, under the authority vested in me as Governadeir by the Constitution of Belacostă, that the following be enacted:

• The Governadeir shall have the responsibility of maintenance of the province's body of laws, and shall be the authorized figure to edit the text and records of the same; and
• This legal compendium shall be titled the Riverside Register, because alliteration is cool; and
• The Provincial Council may designate this responsibility and authority to any provincial Minister as is their constitutional prerogative.

Given at the city of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, June 13th, 2025
Don Mic'haglh Autófil O.Be., Governadeir of Belacostă

In the name of King Txec I hereby sign this proclamation.
Done by my hand this 4th day of July in the year of the common era 2025, in the first year of the reign of our gracious sovereign King Txec, and of the independence of Talossa the 46th.

Glüc da Dhi, Viceregal Representative to the Free and Sovereign Province of Belacostă

Ugh. I totally forgot about this. My sincere apologies.

Just wanted to point out that I am not moving forward with this without countersignature; while the Belacostan constitution allows "any bill adopted by the Provincial Assembly"  to take effect if it reaches the end of the month without assent, this is not a bill adopted by the Provincial Assembly, nor do I feel this is a proclamation that simply clarifies "policy internal to the Provincial Council" as in Article III, Section 4.

On this day, the Free and Sovereign Province commemorates the birthday of Giuseppe Garibaldi, for whom our southern canton is named. Italian patriot, general, and republican, his efforts to lead the reunification of Italy and his legacy overall have led one historian to describe him as "the only wholly admirable figure in modern history".

So we're agreed that such changes may be "frequent" but are not essential to Parliamentary democracy.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on November 27, 2020, 07:26:37 PMthe Governor or someone appointed by the Governor shall be responsible for drafting and disseminating an Annual Government Gazette consisting of the following information via email in cooperation with the Chancery:
1) all provincial legislation approved in the session immediately preceding (and of the current session) the Gazette's publishing, and
2) a list of all members and their party affiliation in the House of Shepherds, and
3) a list of current provincial officials (Governor, Senator, and Constable).

@Iac Marscheir Mr. Governor,

In an effort to jump start provincial activity I am wondering if you have plans to present the required Annual Government Gazette (pursuant to Resolution 2020-09) to Florencians? Also, what are your plans concerning constitutional revisions?
