Re: About Glossing

My best advice with glossing is to just try it. It's not as difficult as it seems at first. And if you do go astray then I'm sure someone here will help you. You definitely don't have to remember the whole list of abbreviations. (You could even just make up your own if you wanted, but I wouldn't rec...

Re: On making a conscript that doesn't suck.

I think I need to get an actual brush or something (as this script is supposed to be written, at least traditionally, with a brush and ink). Definitely. If you're strapped for cash a cheapo watercolor set and brush should do. Looking at your previous examples, there are bits which wouldn't make sen...

Re: On making a conscript that doesn't suck.

My first tip is to decide a writing medium. I'm going to assume you want brush and ink because of your desired appearance. My second tip is to scribble a lot. Preferable in the medium if available. Is there anything stopping you from making scribbles of words starting with desired syllables and then...

Re: Help me to make a better Resources Thread!

I wanted to vote both "I like it" and "what was wrong with the old one?"; but I had to pick just one. If you had to make a change to improve the old thread what would it be? Personally, I found the old thread haphazard and difficult to search for links to what I was interested in.

Re: Help me to make a better Resources Thread!

I think having all of the Wikipedia links is unnecessary. The whole point of the thread is to make it easier to access various materials that may or may not be tricky to find; nothing can be less tricky than looking up something in Wikipedia. But that's an essentially minor quip; I'm just against f...

Re: Help me to make a better Resources Thread!

I do kind of agree with the conlang section possibly being merged. But I'm not sure. I guess I was hoping for more links in the area. However, I think it is best to keep the non-English sections separate. If you're looking there, you're going to want a language you know and it's easier to pick out i...

http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/ This is really helpful, in my mind. It also has an Iphone app. I've seen translators for Japanese stuff recommend it as well. That site looks good!
