What is the Hivemind?

[Rystil Arden]

It's just a talent. My maternal grandad spoke like 8 languages and knew the basics of god knows how many more. My skills are a far cry from that; my interests just lie in other areas so I'm only learning languages I need.

My mom triple-majoured in three foreign languages. She says that I could be better at it than she was if I tried. But I just didn't care enough.

I've never taken Spanish, only French, so that was just my attempt to Spanglicise the French words I know

It works pretty well. I have some friends that came in from France and I could understand large parts of their conversations.

Kind of interesting.

EN World is racist?!

Hm.

Languagist?!

Oh, we're very racist. Racist against gnomes it would seem...Darkness, I'm looking at you!

... Well, I assumed you meant letters. A lot of people get the numbers wrong. Can you say 20 in sign language? It's not 2-0.

And... I have no clue. I"m still learning. I'd guess you'd spell it out.

'd guess 2 10, but.. How?

The funny thing is that I'm guessing from you correction that all the rest of it was correct? That would be pretty cool.

Yeah, my grandfather spoke...
English, Spanish, French, Italian, Arabic...
um... I forget what else. Not 8 languages, but it was interesting. My aunt (French) said he spoke French more beautifully than anyone she'd ever known.

Don't get me wrong. I was very good at asking how to get to Jeuno without finding mobs that agro, even good enough to party with Japanese people who didn't speak a word of English (I asked people who were bilingual and wrote it down). I just doubt that "Congratulations on reaching level 35. Do you think we should move on to harder monsters?" will come up in casual conversation

Well, my knowledge probably is slightly less than that, but more real-world-oriented.

 

[Rystil Arden]

Shh... don't point out the obvious silliness of the made-up language.

Well, all languages were made-up....

Yes! I'm being oppressed. ~weeps bitterly~

Well, yeah, but that's justified. Damned shifty little buggers!
