*tzzk* Slowly. But surely. I think I am making. Good progress. But I think. My tone might have some issues. Can someone. Advise? *sskh* [ Attached is a voiceclip of Hoshi speaking in Alternian Common. They're saying "I think that it's a good idea to calm down. It would be good if this is settled peacefully. Don't fight me. I have a gun. Let's talk this out." Very important phrases to know. Their intonation is pretty good! He's clearly been making improvements. His words still sometimes sound a little bit like questions when they shouldn't be, and the tone is a little too formal for the caste they'll be disguising as. There are some other minor pronunciation errors, but it's all still understandable. ] *sskh*
Interesting phrases. Are those in the books they are teaching you with?

*tzzk* I am teaching. Myself. With aid from a few. Others, but. Only in their. Off-time. Yes. This is. In the books. It is a passage about. Protecting yourself. There are lists of. other weapons. But I. Have a gun. So I figured I should learn that one first. *sskh*
*tzzk* Oh, thank you. That would be. Very helpful. And that is. Good to know. I do not know which castes. The learning resources I have access to. Are aimed at. So it would be good to. Have another person. To practice with. One who. Knows my own language. *sskh*
Good. I can see that Eileit is assisting you, so I doubt my advice would be any more helpful. It's right, you sound too formal. And that is coming from me.
*tzzk* To me. Your typing seems. Very formal, so. If you are saying that, then. Perhaps I am. Way off the mark. *sskh*
Not way off, just a little.
