There is no shortage of water on Brackenwood. Everything is so lush and green for the simple reason that the world is a globe of water. Nobody knows what dwells in the heated depths under the forests, but on occasion pale faces with wide black eyes have been glimpsed staring out from below pond and lake surfaces. It may be that Brackenwood carries a thriving civilization at her heart, but until those depths are explored, nobody could know for sure.



That's from Adam's Brackenwood.net under world>water

heh, too lazy to read it over again to get the right info :P

This is a place where you can post any tools or tricks you've thought up to help the rest of us with Sarus that haven't already been made up by the awesome chluaid.


I'm posting one I just finished. I was going over lesson 1 and not picking it up in a hurry, this is my second attempt to learn it because I lost interest the first time (not enough progress) and then i thought, as a memory key, I would doodle a scene based on each word. After I doing that i memorized everything almost instantly and am now fluent in all five of the fisrt words. Be quiet.

But anyway, I figured other people could learn from the same tool so here's a modified page of those doodles, featuring Cuneiform the Learning Yuyu (needed to fill the first square) and some other Brackenwood critters.

Please note- i am NOT trying to show off artistic ability. I KNOW the drawings are sub-par, they're just to help in memorizing, as are the cheesy and not especially brilliant sentences. Also, my program compacted it so some parts are hard to read, sorry about that. Basically though it's the word, the translation, the pronounciation, an illustration, and a sentence underlining key terms.

And notes on some panels- the he (it?) in DF is just because df means both, and some poeple insist all animal or non-humans are its, so that's that. I KNOW Bitey is a he. The Prowlies are repeated because it was all I could think of for RE and AND. Also, yes the ti is pronouned tea. I... think everything else is self-expalnitory.


Not sure if this will help anyone else, but it can't hurt. Anyway, now you have a new tool, go ahead and try lesson 1. http://www.biteycastle.com/525/01_firstWords.html

Well, we didn't see anything big enough to be an ocean when bitey ran around the world, but if there was I'm sure its got some k.a. creatures swimming in it.

Finally! Lesson 2. Make sure you know the first five word well before trying to cram in the second- see how quickly you can translate the given sentences at the actual lessons page.
Um, again, I don't claim to be an artist, and some of these sentences don't make sense or have lame connections, but I do what I can. if you can think of a better one, let me know. :)
As far as drr, the only think I could think of was dork and that it sounded like a synonym for crazy, and since Brackenwood doesn't have any dorks that was the best I could do. Crazy little bigfoot.
Don't forget how to pronounce 2 r's!

Suggestions for later lessons? Let me know!
