I have added navigation to the bottom of each page, and a few other little improvements as they occur to me.  If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please feel free to let me know.  I do plan on eventually making the forms for answers auto-check for correct answers, rather than making the reader do it, but that will have to wait for a later day.

Anyway, I started work on the next lesson, and it's partially complete.  We'll be working on translating into Talossan in different tenses, expanding significantly the number of things we can say.

A future Lesson Six will be about error correction, I think.

Okay, I think I'm all done.  @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP , I have a pretty good feeling about this... it is my great hope that you find no more than five errors!

  • The 3rd person singular future tense ending is -arha, not -arhva. As such, "xhemparhva" is wrong too.
  • The future tense solution table is the only one to capitalise all the verb forms. They should be lower-case to be consistent with all the other tables.
  • "Noi failarhent" is future tense, not present tense. The translation is therefore also incorrect.
  • "fraichent" is correct, but the rules that determine when c becomes ch are completely unexplained in any of the lessons so far. You might want to pick a different verb.
  • "Éu azvirlarhéu" simply means "I will throw away", not "I will throw it away". You'd need an added object pronoun in there, which haven't been introduced yet.
  • "pastürevent" is past tense, not present tense.
  • Why is "espoçás" bold?
  • "earnarha" is future tense, not present tense.

Sadly more than five this time.
Editing posts is my thing. My bad.
Feel free to PM me if you have a Glheþ translation request!

Since two of those are not problems with my Talossan, but rather minor errors, I'm going to call it six.

Wait, actually, what's the process for getting changes to the language at this point?  Can we change "pastürevent" to present tense?  Then it will be only five!

Thank you again, by the way.  Without your help, this would have taken drastically longer and I never would have caught all the errors.

All fixed!

@Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC , this one is all set and cleared, I think.
