I can’t understand literally any of the ponies. Okay, I can understand Pinkie Pie, but that’s it. It’s very awkward.
And not only that, I have to adjust to being a pegasus. And, therefore, two extra appendages - AKA wings.
This will not turn out well.
Other tag is just for miscellaneous background ponies, the princesses, etcetera.

the translations in the authors notes make very little sense without context, perhaps you should put the translation after the horse noises.

also, the characters in this story are being way to nonchalant about this

Basically the only characters I’m good at characterizing are Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie out of the Mane Six, and all of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. And Derpy but she doesn’t have personality in the show, like, at all.

I was mainly talking about the MC

I'll try to fix that.

Hmm I bet she crushes hard on bulk biceps (we need more ships with him)

I always love the language barriers that are in this type of stories. It's something soo refreshing to read again.

Always fun to read communication-difficulty HiE fics. Although I think this is the first one where Pinkie's been able to translate right off the bat. Interesting that she's keeping the main character's origins secret. And given Twilight showed up but didn't do anything, I'm guessing there aren't translation spells. Will Ocean Wings be carrying around a slate and chalk, given the writing systems seem to be roughly comparable?

Interesting premise, I agree with Divan that language barriers can make for interesting stories :derpytongue2:
though the first chapter feels a bit rushed. Take some time and let your characters take in the surroundings and explain who they are and why they're doing the things they do.
But either way, curious to see where this goes :derpytongue2: dont stop writing :twilightsmile:

Honestly I wish there was a translation guide, but I don’t think there’s one, at least not one that’s official.

Rather short but neat none the less

I’ll try to make the next one longer.

If I may make a suggestion, why not have the cmc try and teach him their language to try and get teaching cutie marks,

This is after the CMC get their cutie marks. But that could work. Maybe at least somewhat teach it.
