Official Sarus Lessons [size=0]-updated weekly from 12th November 2006[/size]
Text-book style lessons that teach you from scratch. Used in conjunction with other resources listed here, these lessons are the very best way to start learning Sarus.

While you are at an early level, just play single notes and say their meanings to yourself as you do so. For example, press 'd' say 'no', press 'f' say 'to, at', etc..

Later when you start to learn the two- and three-syllable words, you can make use of the 'play' button which allows you to input a number of notes, then hear the word play back. It will help you recognize the sounds of various words.

The following link is for the original 18th century French 'SolReSol', which uses the notes:
do re me fa sol la si
http://www.ptialaska.net/~srice/solresol/sorsoeng.htm

There are many problems that I can see with the original version of SolReSol:


  • Most of it is lost. It has died out, and very few people in the world are interested in it. Therefore the only remaining resources are either full of holes, or very hard to find.
  • d r m f so l s - the two 's' syllables can be very confusing, especially in words like sssol, sso, sosos, etc...
  • the 'backwards word = opposite meaning' rule is very loose, and cannot be counted on
  • The original dictionary is terribly outdated. Words like tinsmith, watchmaker and chillblain are hardly ever used in the 21st Century (or in the yu-yu world!)

I've aimed at fixing the above points for the Brackenwood version, which I've called Sarus:


  • I'll be posting all the learning resources here. As I work on it, I'll update this forum.
  • d r m f s l t - there is no confusion now between so and s. Here they are s and t.
  • I think the 'backwards word = opposite meaning' rule is a brilliant one, and while it's not always possible, I'm making every effort to make that rule more solid.
  • The entire vocabulary of Sarus is based on the most common english words. This means that even with the first 50 Sarus words, you can make yourself understood.
