A while back I wrote about a linguistically ‘pure’ version of English called Anglish. At the end of that post I said that I wanted to write a whole post in Anglish. That’s exactly what I’m going to try and do today: talk about my goals for the coming year entirely in Anglish. I’ll also release a English version of this so people can read them side-by-side and clarify anything that doesn’t make sense.

My 2020 Goals

Upload every week

Last year I was rather unweenly when it came to uploading. At the start of 2019 I handled uploading weekly but as the year went on other stuff came up and I didn’t have the time to upload weenly. This year I want to keep up with weekly uploads. To do this, I have betaken to brook a boltlogbook to help me lay out my time better than last year.

Fullcome my play

For the last few months I have been working on writing a play. So far I have only written short drafts of a few settings, but I have the whole thing laid out. I wrote a few short plays many moons ago back when I did uptreading craft at twoth lorehouse, so I have a rlittle bit of afanding with playwriting. Hopefully with a little fuster I will have a first draft fullcome before the Summer. It is in all likelyhood too early for me to talk about anything bestevened here, so I will only say that it is about an elf working in Father Yule’s workshop.

Watch 366 flicks in 366 days

I don’t like setting myself New Year’s goals, but I saw some people on Reddit talking about watching one flick a day last year and it seemed like a fun undertaking. Last year I watched a 129 flicks overall, with most of them being in the back half of the year. This sixmonth I am doing two flick loregangs, and that this time I am ahead of the mark of one every day, so I am hopeful at this thraw. Where I could maybe fall down is when my year abroad starts in Holymonth, but I will thwarse that bridge when I come to it.

Beseek more new spots

In 2019 I besought a lot of spots that I had wanted to go to for a long time. Lands like: Dublin, Tallinn, and Madrid as well as sundry spots in the Oned Kingdom. This year I want to keep that going and see a lot of new spots. In the first half of the year I want to try and roase Scotland, in the main the north. Scotland is a really pretty land and I have barely seen any of it. So far, even though I have been living here for a year and a half, I have only been to Glasgow and St Andrews, as well as the Cairngorms on a kinholiday sundry years ago. I really want to beseek Aberdeen and Inverness on the mainland, as well as a lot of the ilands. Huying that I do not flunk my loregangs, then I get to go to Sweden in Holymonth. Whilst I am over there, I really want to beseek a lot of the lands around the Baltic sea.

Keep on with my tung learning

This is less something I want to start doing, instead something that I want to keep doing. Nowenly I am learning Swedish and Catalandish at lorestead, and at the same time I am teaching myself Welsh. My Catalandish loregang ends in Eastermonth and I really want to keep learning the tung when it is over. I like Catalandish and Catalandish culture, and don’t want my fare into them to end so soon. With Welsh I have been using Duolingo and a handbook, but I have not been using the handbook as much as I would like to. In terms of what I want to shift there are two things. Firstly spend more time using handbooks for all three tungs. Secondly make more of my learning deedy, so trying to use them makerly to write and speak instead of only doing wordlore ovings.

This was a shorter post than usual but it turns out that it takes a long time to make sure that every word existed in Old English and then find alternatives to all of the loan words. I might do something like this again in the future if people like this one. If you do, please follow me on my various socials to get updates when I post and share my posts wherever you can – it’s the only way I can grow this blog.
