Listen "Hello Hi Hey"
Episode Synopsis
This is a song I wrote in October and November of 2020. It features words for hello, how are you and good morning in 33 languages - all of which I've studied or dabbled with, and one I invented (Laala), plus some English dialects. I can have at least basic conversations in half of them. The only language I've studided that isn't featured here is BSL (British Sign Language) - if I make a video for this song, I will add it.
The languages (in order of appearance) are: English, Scots, Welsh, Cornish, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Breton, French, Spanish, Latin, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, German, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Faroese, Icelandic, Czech, Russian, Slovenian, Serbian, Slovak, Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Esperanto, Toki Pona, Laala.
Here are the words:
Hello hi hey hello
Hi hey hello hi hey
Hello hi hey
Hello hey hi
Hello hi hey hello
