Sounds good. This thread is getting outdated. And I like that new table! 301 words.[html]

"Ululare," Apollo repeated, listening to Savina’s phrase. "Oh I see," he responded with a grin, glad that he was catching on and that he would now know how to say these words he hadn’t known before. He hoped that after more lessons with both Savina and Naniko, Apollo would be fluent in the language to an extent where he could elaborate on his words. Right now he new very basic sentences, but he hoped eventually he would be able to speak much more of the language.
"Alright, let’s see here." He had to think for a moment about what he did and didn’t know how to say. He tried to think of a basic conversation one may have, so he could try to identify words he didn’t know. He began drawing in the dirt, but only drew a few things. He would need to let what he had learned already sink in before they could continue much more of their lessons. He drew a solitary wolf and then a pack of wolves off to the side. He wanted to know what the Italians would call someone alone – an outlaw of sorts. Then the pup drew a very crude illustration of a mattress like the one he slept on in the manor. Lastly he drew a fish and smiled up at Savina to signal that he was finished.
He wondered if Sirius was continuing his lessons with Naniko. His brother had been learning both Italian and French, but Apollo never really took a likening toward French. It was too confusing for him and he didn’t like the way that the words sound. He knew that Sirius was proud for being able to speak more than Apollo, but he was happy himself that he knew more in Italian that his brother probably did.
