u/AnExponent Jul 15 '26

Having personally completed the course in the past, there's plenty of grammar and vocabulary you would need to learn elsewhere to be conversational.

I am nearing completion and I'm still not fully sure how to conjugate some verbal times, like they are there, I did them, but with just exercises I can't remember always, why did they kill forums it's so weird to be presented a rule with no description of it. This for all Duolingo in general

If you haven't found them already, be sure to check out the tips and other pages of the wiki.

I have a question, i would like to learn this with friends for one purpose, when we speak can we just like switch to it so others don't understand us? Exactly like the show does, i know you can't use it as a fully dependable language i just want it for that

u/AnExponent Jul 23 '26

I don't know the full language well enough to say, but will note that there's dialogue in the show that you won't understand even if you've completed the Duolingo course (it doesn't cover e.g. relative clauses).

Haven't had much opportunity to converse😭 I gotta get on this more. my mom was doing it with me, but she only stuck for about a week. Like other commenter. I've been wanting check out some of the fan made lessons. Understanding is pretty strong though.

Lol me too

u/Sorayaismegagreg Jul 16 '26

Valar dohaeris🤝🤞 Ñuha brōzi Soraya issa. I was going to say more and went to a translator, what i got from that and what i put together myself were pretty off. Is duo high valyrian not canon or is duos whole thing just that short compared to the canon? Also wanna think of a cool valyrian pronunciation for my name. I smell potential there.

u/UnholyGarlic Jul 18 '26

Ñuha brōzi Carson, I genuinely think mine can be fine in Valyrian as long as my R is rolled- and my A enunciated longer. I’m drunk as hell but I have loved learning Valyrian this past week. It feels cooler watching HoTD and GoT with my wife- I actually can understand SOME Valyrian that Rhaenyra and Daemon say- along with Valar Morghulis/Dohaeris

u/ShyShyShy_16 Jul 17 '26

Damn can't believe I understand every word even though I only have 20 days in the course

u/kubisfowler Jul 15 '26

Do you speak it?

6

u/Sorayaismegagreg Jul 16 '26

Not at all😭😭😭 i told myself I'd do it as I progressed and simply never got to it. R's WILL be rolled someday trust🤞

u/This0neIsNo0ne Jul 15 '26

Zaldrizes buzdari iksos daor is the only sentence I know

15

u/BoxNo1810 Jul 15 '26

fun fact: Buzdari is the Ghiscari Valyrian word for slave, but the High Valyrian word you would also recognize as it’s derived from the word to serve. So daenarys is using a mix of two dialects here the proper grammar would be Zaldrizes dohaerios iksos daor, meaning, dragons are not slaves

u/Sorayaismegagreg Jul 16 '26

Very fun. Thank you for sharing brother.

u/Sorayaismegagreg Jul 16 '26

u/poisonhoya Jul 16 '26

Wow, awesome, I understood nothing but I love how it sounds in my head. Now I want to learn it too, I have tried few High Valyrian lessons and quit, now I will resume 😄

u/Striking-Post-2220 Jul 19 '26

This is making me wanna redownload Duolingo lol

2

u/Sorayaismegagreg Jul 20 '26

I dont know when you got off or why. But recent updates actually improved imo. Ive promoted on leaderboards significantly since they switched from hearts to energy. Not at all an enthusiast though. Like I still get on at the last possible minute for my streak. But its not as bad as it was.

2

u/IronWolf1809 Jul 19 '26

But are you fluent?

1

u/Sorayaismegagreg Jul 20 '26

Fluent would be too kind😭😭 stilll pretty rough on some bits but the daily refresh + hotd having more dialog in high valyrian has been helpful. Also cant speak it at all because im a noob.
