Upset that you can’t speak Valyrian?

Upset that you can’t speak Valyrian?
Want to expand from Bantu or Syrian?
This “Game of Thrones” tongue
From an app now has sprung.
So you don’t have to sound so plebeian.


The language-learning app Duolingo will now teach users how to converse in High Valyrian as part of its instructional programming.
The language, which is spoken by Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, has been in the apps’ “incubator” for several months, and now has a completion date. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the language structure of High Valyrian was developed by the UC Berkeley alumnus David J. Peterson for the HBO adaptation of the George R.R. Martin series.
