I've began to delve into the language of Yup'ik. It's not nearly as hard as most native languages are. In fact it's quite simple. I appreciate its simplicity. Unlike English it's actually quite a pleasure to learn and almost natural to memorize. There are very few language books for Yup'ik in the world, and coming by one is truly a stroke of luck. But alas, my luck is speaking good karma and I have come to possess two wonderful books written by some lovely elderly ladies from Bethel. I've self-taught myself many a tounges so the idea of learning yet another neither discourages nor terrifies me. I know it will take time. But I have a memory made for talking- I am quite an avid talker outside of this little diary as well. The pronunciation will be the hardest, but I am determined and by lifes end will have achieved the perfect dialect. I am but nineteen now. That gives me eighty more years to become fluent in Yup'ik. I assume it shall take me three.
