Madam Sapphire Bucket

Director Wanda Wellington
Korean is super hard to learn.
Officer Pixie Squirrel
Ikr I wish I could learn it quicker
Madam Sapphire Bucket
Are you using Duolingo? I am learning lots of languages, but unfortunately not Irish yet.
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
No, not yet. I think I might go to a bookshop and see if they have an Irish phrasebook. What languages are you learning? I know English (obviously) Vietnamese and hopefully Irish soon.
Officer Pixie Squirrel
Wow! I know English, Spanish, French, Italian, and a tiny bit of Latin. On this one website I use for learning Spanish,(Dreaming Spanish) the guy who created it says not to LEARN languages, but to ACQUIRE them. (This basically means listen to native Spanish speakers, and not just learn from a textbook, because when you learn it from a textbook, it’s very easy to forget) I agree with this from personal experience, but everyone is different!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
How do you know all of those? You’re like a human translaty-thing-a-ma-gummy (I forgot what they’re called)!
Officer Pixie Squirrel
A polyglot? I can say Hello in most of them too! Hello, (English) Hola, (Spanish), Salut, (French) and Ciao! (Italian) I love learning languages, it’s so much fun!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Same
Director Wanda Wellington
Yeah, aren’t languages great! I love all kinds of learning!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Really? Do you know any other languages?
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
French, African, and a little bit if german or Ukrainian
Director Wanda Wellington
That’s great! I’m learning French too!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Cool
Director Wanda Wellington
Yeah, cool. What’s your favourite movie?
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Trolls band together
Director Wanda Wellington
Nice! I love The Aristocats!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Oh yeah
Director Wanda Wellington
Yup! They’re super!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Huh
Director Wanda Wellington
:-)
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
It is such a weird feeling being fluent in more then one language – it’s like your brain being divided in half (or more.) In Vietnamese I’m fluent in all the words I know but I only know words that you would say to your family – everyone down my Mum’s side lives in Vietnam and only speaks Vietnamese.
Officer Pixie Squirrel
Yeah, absolutely. I once had a dream in Spanish, and my brother says I sometimes sleep talk in French!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
You have a brother too? I have one and he’s seven.
Once, at school, the teacher asked a question and I accidentally answered in Vietnamese which is way more embarrassing than it sounds
Officer Pixie Squirrel
I bet that was embarrassing! I wouldn’t have liked to be in your shoes! I think it’s good to speak two languages very fluently like that!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
You’re wayyyyy better at languages then I am – you probably speak two hundred fluently!
Officer Pixie Squirrel
Ha! I wish I did, wouldn’t that be cool!! But I only speak 3 languages decently fluently. (Including English) Italian is coming along well, but not Latin, it’s really hard!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Same
Director Wanda Wellington
Really? How many languages are you learning?
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
A few
Director Wanda Wellington
Which ones, if you don’t mind me asking?
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
French
African and Ukrainian
Director Wanda Wellington
Great!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Yeah
Director Wanda Wellington
Do you want to learn any other languages in the future?
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Norwegian
Director Wanda Wellington
Nice! I really want to learn Portuguese and German!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
I went to portugal
Director Wanda Wellington
Really? Me too, but it was when I was quite little, so I don’t remember it too good, sadly.
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
I went when I was 6
Director Wanda Wellington
Nice! I bet it was really fun!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
It was
Director Wanda Wellington
I hope we go to Spain next year!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
That sounds awesome
Director Wanda Wellington
It so would be! I’d also love to go to Egypt, or Argentina!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
We have lots in common
Director Wanda Wellington
I know! Don’t we just!
Countess Majorca Bacon-slicer
Yes Duolingo is very useful I use it to improve my french I’m already fluent but it is useful for more than just learning a language you also get very in depth stuff. That’s so cool ur learning Irish! Do you live in Ireland or are you doing it for fun
Madam Wanda Bungalow
I just want to learn. I also want to help stop it dying out because Irish is a really endangered language and I intend to visit Ireland some day.
Officer Pixie Squirrel
I know I heard that that’s really sad I always find it so sad when a language dies out- that language might be really precious to someone!!!
Madam Wanda Bungalow
No one uses Cornish any more and Duolingo doesn’t do a course for it and Cornish schools/Universitys/colleges don’t teach it any more and if no one is able to learn Cornish it will just die out.

Hey there. Unfortunately, we were delayed for our holiday so we are going tomorrow so here’s the next challenge! Think of your favourite book and give it a new name and a new blurb. Make sure you add the book your changing. The same rules apply from the previous challenges. I would also love it if before I go you could tell me if you like my challenges, if I should do more and some challenge ideas. This competition ends in two weeks and soon we will be announcing the Pokemon mash up competition winner. If you haven’t done any of my earlier challenges, I would appreciate it if you joined. Good luck everyone and keep them coming!

Don Pudsey Pennyfarthing
I’ve noticed that two other challenges I’ve written haven’t been replied to get so could you please see if you could find them. Thanks.
Don Pudsey Pennyfarthing
Diary of a Wimpy kid-the long haul into Dairy of a Wobbly kid-the loud howl. New blurb-Jeff going on a camp out with his family but it didn’t go right when a wolf disturbed it…
Professor Flash Aardvark
i LIKE this! please please please do more!
Please?
Director Aphrodite Wellington
Name of book I’m changing: harry potter and the philosophers stone.
Hairy pottery and the para gliders goggles.
Blurb: hairy pottery is always longing to fly, let alone walk and talk. Soon it discovered snakehead poison. It transforms absolutely anything to absolutely anything! The only problem is… He can’t drink either.
Go on a hairy adventure with the hariest pottery!!!
Doctor Quicksand Sausage-Roll
Hi! Sad about ur holiday.This isn’t my favourite book ever, but I quite like Ballet shoes. Another name for that one could be dancer because the name ballet shoes doesn’t cover all three of them- they all like different types of dancing. The new blurb would be something like: “Three adopted children; all different; but all love dancing. Read this book for adventure and fun.” Sorry, I know that’s not the best but I haven’t read that book for ages!!! 8)
Madam Wanda Bungalow
I’m gonna change diary of a wimpy kid to the dramatic frame
Nurse Wanda Rubber-duck
Dork Diaries (the first one)
I would rename it Diaries Of Nicki Maxwell , A young high-school student
My blurb would be
“Join me, Nicki Maxwell on my adventures at my new highschool there will be ups and downs lefts and rights but ill find my way to make it through them, this will include enemies friends and crushes, open the page to start your journey through my crazy life "
Have fun on holiday!!
Madam Sapphire Bucket
I love your challenges, they’re superb! My book I’m changing is Cursed Crowns. It’s new name is A kingdom divided. It’s blurb is: Rose and Wren are now the queens of Eana. Wren runs away in the night to find her grandmother, and Rose is left to do the Royal trip around the country with Shen. But mysteries and curses rise, and will Rose and Wren manage to keep their kingdom , and their hearts, united?

Hey guys. I’m going on holiday so you’ll have to wait for the next challenge but here’s one more before I go. Think of your dream holiday and describe it. When I come back, the winner will be announced. The same rules apply for the other challenges. Have a great summer holiday everyone!!!

Don Pudsey Pennyfarthing
Going to an exotic beach in a luxury hotel with a wonderful view and a pool and everything and exotic place would have
Madam Sapphire Bucket
I’m doing all ur challenges btw
Anyway, my dream holiday would be in a massive theme park resort like Alton towers, except with a private booking so there’s no queues. I would invite all my friends, and we would have the BEST WEEK EVER!!!!! I love rollercoasters, and most of my friends do to so it would be very amazing. There would be loop the loop rollercoasters, and those massive pirate boats where u feel like ur going to fall out, and every other ride imaginable! There would also be the opportunity to fly, like u see people do at the circus. Oh, and the food would be the best, like roast, and nice pizza, and croissants and everything!!!
Thank you very much for making all these fun challenges! Bye bye bye!!!!
Madam Wanda Bungalow
Thanks!
