[CULTURE] A Talossan Language Contest / Ünă Cumpetaziun da Mocts

[Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC]

No, my idea would have been to apply for grant funds to develop three initial lessons along the same lines as my recent translation post, walking people through some basic grammar concepts and the translation process. But it's not pressing, and maybe I'll do it anyway sometime.

Let the record show I am perfectly happy to give my $25 Amazon gift card to anyone who wants to do a good job of work for the Talossan language.

Would you want to commission me for that amount to do one full first introductory lesson, in the style I did before with that stanza of Trichard's poem?  For that amount, I'd talk in full through the translation of a few sentences, explaining introductory grammar concepts along the way and providing hyperlinked references.

No they aren't videos.

Ok, I'll use those as a basis for Fora Talossa's series then.

I threw together a quick website to host this, in case this project happens.

I very much hope this project gets going. It ties in very nicely to the themes of my upcoming Independence Day Speech. If I can be of use please let me know.

Looks like this deal is happening, so I'll get to work.

[Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP]

I'm glad that you offered to write lessons (I feel like you, having a teaching background, are more qualified than me, anyway). My only condition is for them to be double-checked by SIGN before they go live.

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

Well, I already started and it's live (https://talossan.net/lesson-one/), so that's not possible. But I'll slap a big warning at the top that it hasn't been checked and is probably wrong until you sign off on it.

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

Okay, all done.  Let me know if there's any problems, anything that needs to be expanded, or if I got anything wrong.  I'm pretty close to 100% sure I got something wrong.

The first lesson looks really good to me!

"àð el" also automatically turns into "àl".

éu sint impreßat par la thu ensegnhardestreçă  (how can we translate "Pedagogy" ?)

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

Really? That's weird, I didn't notice that.  Okay, cool.  Anything else?

EDIT: I'm actually going to assume that one laconic comment comprises the whole of the errors, and remove the warning. If there's anything else, let me know.

Yeah no that was all for lesson one. I really like your approach!

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

Thanks!

It took about an hour all told, which wasn't too bad. I hope the government considers it well-worth the investment, and maybe we can continue the series in the future. Pretty fun, too.
