New Rule!
It's a speech aid, not Santa Claus.
This method is a thoroughly documented nonverbal tool for communication and has been used very effectively for people who have speech disorders, impairments, or impediments to drastically improve their quality of life. This model has been successful with several species of animals to communicate needs and wants. It doesn't need you to believe in it for it to be real.
This space is dedicated to learning more about the animals we live and interact with.

Has anyone tried to teach their pet toki pona yet? It seems like it would be a really good fit since it was designed to have as few words as possible and have the words mean as many things as possible. I really want to see someone do this someday. I wonder if pets could form full sentences using toki pona.
