“Excellent question! Though your class materials will have important notes, one of the major difficulties in studying The Correspondence is that committing research to paper is difficult. Thus I would highly advise additional research trips to the Forgotten Quarter. Studying the ruins there will allow you to see how Fourth City scholars employed The Correspondence.” The Academic took the class roster from the podium, raising it aloft. “You can also go straight to the Benthic library and ask to see the lead correspondence plaques. You’ll need to show a proper ID, but I’ve submitted the class roster to the library for special permission.” The Academic smiled. “If you are denied access, calmly write down the name of the offending librarian, and put it through the slot on my office door. I will have a word with them, and ensure you are properly remunerated for your lost time.” The smile widened. “They will not make that mistake a second time, mark my words.”
“Also, as this is a language, I encourage each of you to use it as frequently with one another as is safely possible. We’ll soon have you able to write letters, and there is absolutely no better instructor than direct communication.”
