Learn Lang Belta, the language of The Expanse!

Panel Room 2

Saturday April 13, 2019 - 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm


Far from the Earth's gravity well, the brave and resourceful people of the Belt have developed their own creole language. Lang Belta combines languages from all over Earth with the unique culture of the Belt. This course will give you hands-on practice, teaching you to understand spoken Lang Belta and to produce new, original Belta sentences of your own. No knowledge of the series is required, and there will be no plot spoilers. (My co-teacher Kagan MacTane and I teach a fun, high-energy immersion workshop in Lang Belta, the creole language created for the acclaimed sci fi show The Expanse. It's been a huge hit at cons from Helsinki to Rome to San Jose, and we would love to teach it at Philly Comic Con!)
