From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

Salut, Jonathan! (Hello, Jonathan!) is the story of a young Englishman who goes to visit his friend in another European country. This edition is written entirely in Idiom Neutral. It begins with very simple language. The words the reader knows are repeated and new words are added slowly and in context, so that no dictionary is required to read it. This is a method used also by other books such as English by the Nature Method, Le français par la méthode nature, and L’italiano secondo il metodo natura, as well as Hans Ørberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata.

The original Salute, Jonathan! is a book written in Occidental, and first published by Dave MacLeod on Wikibooks in 2019. The text is available under the CC BY-SA 3.0 licence. As such, the text of this translation into Idiom Neutral is also available under the same terms.

The original Salute, Jonathan! consists of 100 chapters. This translation into Idiom Neutral is ongoing and therefore at the moment consists only of a small portion of it. Nonetheless, the further you get into the book, the language becomes more and more complex and an actual story begins to form. Salute, Jonathan! is in fact a full translation of a classic book that you are likely very familiar with. Go read it, in Occidental, if you’d like to know more.
