Ultimately a tulpa doesn't know more than you do, but has anyone ever tried teaching their tulpa to become fluent in a language? How would that even work? And if they did learn it, would you be able to understand the language they speak?

If you share the same memories, you share fluency in the same languages.

Alice: My host M speaks 3 languages quite fluently and so do I. His main one is Russian and when I came into this world, that was the language that I started speaking naturally. Obviously, we both speak English as well. When I first tried speaking with M in English, it felt strange, interesting and peculiar. But we both got used to it quickly.

 

The thing is about speaking a new language, I just felt that all the knowledge that I need was already in our body. I didn't have to learn anything or make much effort. I just had to get accustomed to the new language, because you have to think differently when speaking a different language. As M said once, I even felt a bit different to him because of the language that I was using.

 

Our 3rd language is Ukrainian and I've spoken it only a couple of times, but I hear it around me all the time. And I just feel that I need approximately a day or so of practicing it (just to get more accustomed to it) and I would speak it completely naturally.

 

The hardest part is finding the right words and phrases that I like. In Russian, I have my own way of speaking. I prefer certain words and phrases and I avoid other ones. It takes a lot of time, knowledge and practice to figure out which words and phrases suit me in other languages and how to structure my speech properly. When it comes to English, I am still learning this ^_^

 

So, I think that in order to speak a language there must be a general knowledge of it in a physical body. The knowledge is shared between everybody. If I don't know some grammar rule of English, M doesn't know it either. But overall, any person in a body may use the knowledge to speak the language and it's just a personal communication skills that matter here.

^ Thank so much for the input Alice! that was a fascinating read! My tulpa, Wena, is still in the early stages, and the reason I brought this up is because I used to hear a lot of French when I was younger. I never really made an effort to speak it, but I wonder if those early memories might still be buried somewhere. Maybe once Wena becomes more vocal, I’ll get to see what he’s capable of accessing. You and your hosts experience was really interestin. It’s amazing to see how tulpas can interact with memories and even seem to inhabit the world around them. I’m still really new to all of this, but learning from others is thrilling
