Leif: I thought I knew a little Ceanska, but I don’t recognize any of these words.
Thorn: That’s because they’re in . . . Iudish. Iudska?
Leif: You speak another language?!
Thorn: I don’t say I speak it. Breaks my poor gran’s heart that I went and learned Sønheic instead.

Oy vey.
Reminds me of when I decided I was going to learn Japanese instead of Ukranian just to annoy my grandfather.
The fake-Hebrew font both bothers and intrigues me. What is it?
It’s called Jerusalem. I have a couple different novelty fonts that mimic other scripts — check out Samarkan and Pseudo Saudi, and there’s even one for the Voynich Manuscript.
Do you think it’s too on-the-nose? I went with it for the entertainment value, but it’s not like it’s too fun to be changed.
I cast my vote for “Keep it”.
“Instead” … hmmm … on one hand, you can learn two other languages. On the other, I can’t either. I mean, I tried and results are as if I didn’t.
However, Leif might mean “you” in plural.
It’s compulsory in the Ceannic school system to learn one language, so that’s the choice Thorn is referring to.
In theory he could learn even more languages in his spare time, but in practice he’s not interested enough to put in the time it would take. Even his second language is still shaky, and that’s with external motivation of the cute bespectacled kind.
It’s technically compulsory in our school system to learn two languages. That’s the “try” I was speaking about.
I am actually Jewish and taking Hebrew classes… whenever I see this font it reminds me of a shirt my mom has with the same font
