Lesson 6: Greetings
Welcome to Lesson 6 for learning Unilange. By now, you've probably figured out how to say quite a few things in Unilange. It may have occurred to you, though, that you do not know simple greetings like "Hello" and "Goodbye". Well, in this lesson, you learn how to say all of those common greetings that are used in everyday speech. There will be no grammar section in this lesson, only vocabulary.
