So far in Dance Dance Revolution, we've learned about how this new desert land is home to a language. However, it's not just any language, it's a combination of several others built into one, constantly developing as new people with different languages enter this region. At first, the narrator of the story gives us a few translations, so we know more or less how to read this book, but once we're actually thrown into the poetic accounts, things blow up pretty quickly.
As a kid, I always dreamed of being able to learn many different languages so I could "talk to everyone in the world". With my knowledge I'd be able to break a lot of boundaries. At about the same time, I'd heard about the concept of secret codes, and how they could function in between languages, and that thought fascinated me. Determined, I hoped to be one of those people writing those codes and sending them off (don't really know where to, since I didn't wanna go into secret agencies or anything).
The idea still seems cool now, but without a lot of knowledge on languages, there are some segments where I'm entirely left in the dark. I'm able to grasp most of what the guides are talking about, but when they talk in or mention an onomatopoetic phrase in a language I haven't studied, I get really lost. It's kind of scary, but also really interesting, because it keeps me wanting to learn more. In some future, I hope to read through this, and know exactly what all these words and phrases mean all combined into one.
