GAME OF THRONES: SHOW’S LINGUIST CREATES ONLINE COURSE TO TEACH HIGH VALYRIAN

BY ALEX GILYADOV, IGN

You can now learn one of Game of Thrones’ ancient languages, High Valyrian, thanks to Duolingo. Quartz reports the company teamed up with the show’s linguist David J. Peterson to create a free online course that teaches Daenerys Targaryen’s mother tongue. You can try it out on Duolingo’s website now, and it will soon be available on iOS and Android devices. The course is free, with an option to pay for a subscription to remove ads. You’ll learn everything from how to simply say father, which is “kepa” in High Valyrian, to more complex phrases like “Daenerys praises the dragon,” which translates to “Daenerys zaldrīzī rijas.”
