HelpNew Idea: Learn-A-Language CAF
In this game, create a family by having their names tell a story, via Google Translate.
https://www.google.com/search?q=google+translate&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS997US997&ei=C1cBZP3wLs2u5NoP5siKsAQ&ved=0ahUKEwi9ot2T1779AhVNF1kFHWakAkYQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=google+translate&gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQAzIKCAAQRxDWBBCwAzIKCAAQRxDWBBCwAzIKCAAQRxDWBBCwAzIKCAAQRxDWBBCwAzIKCAAQRxDWBBCwAzIKCAAQRxDWBBCwAzIKCAAQRxDWBBCwAzIKCAAQRxDWBBCwAzIHCAAQsAMQQzIHCAAQsAMQQ0oECEEYAFAAWABg0gJoAXABeACAAQCIAQCSAQCYAQDIAQrAAQE&sclient=gws-wiz-serp
Example:
Poster chooses Slovak as their language.
DH: Tam Raz
DW: Boli Dva
-DS1: Mladý Chlapci
-DD1: Pomenovaný Les
-DD2: A Džungľa (.)
That translates to:
DH: There Once
DW: Lived Two
-DS1: Young Boys
-DD1: Named Forest
-DS2: And Jungle (.)
. Single letter names are fine! This is supposed to be possibly unrealistic.
. For in-story names, try to use word names and translate them.
. Do not give last names.
. Have fun!
. Try to create a plot-containing story; extend longer than the example.
. Write the language you are learning
. Translate for everyone
. Go one word at a time. Putting to words together will give a non-literal phrase.

“There is no reason why you should try to ride it just because it's there.”
“It's smiling at me!”
“Yeah, right, and I'm the queen of the stars... what is it doing?”
“See, she likes you a lot!”

I’m learning Scottish Gaelic, and it’s weird how similar the two languages are when I look at this… I could even understand a few words.

Wow! That's neat. How are you learning?

Just good old Duolingo :)
