Back in high school I invented a runic language like this and I used it to cheat in German class. I was always drawing fantasy/scifi scenes on my notebooks and I would write all the German verb declensions into the scenes, like on Thor's chest or the side of a spaceship or whatever, and then have the notebook on the floor while taking the test. Straight As in German and now I can't fucking speak German.
I took German for two years without cheating and I can't speak German, either. Classrooms are the worst places to learn languages, period.
At some point I switched my games from German to English, my English skills probably improved more in the first two months of doing that than in the 4 years of classroom English I had before then.
I've heard similar from the people who took French or Spanish as ellectives, it seems schools are the worst place to actually learn a language (I'd say including your native one, I learned more about German in Philosophy class than in German class)
What an enigma you represent.
Underrated pun. Nice.
I hope you can at least still speak the ancient runes of the Chicken Lady.
That's a pretty genius way to cheat, impressive.
Guter Trick, trotzdem schade eigentlich.
Can you still read and write in your runic language?
I can't even read and write English any more.
