my toxic trait is that every time i read about an undeciphered inscription or an entire undeciphered language on wikipedia, i think "show me the data i bet i can do this"

The main episodes of Lingthusiasm these two months were Bringing stories to life in Auslan – Interview with Gabrielle Hodge, which was our second bimodal bilingual episode, this time in Auslan and English, as well as Tone and Intonation?
