[ Kid Flash had asked her for Squirrelese lessons a while ago, and Doreen, never one to turn down a request to learn that particular language, is super prepared. She has come to Little Love in costume, armed with a stack of introductory flashcards, and Tippy-Toe as a teaching assistant. Tippy's the one holding the cards right now, and making demonstrative chirpy noises. ]

So, the trick is learning to differentiate the consonants. A "chitt chuk" with a hard double-T at the end is different than a "chit chuk" with a single T. That's the difference between "I have a sandwich" and "I am a sandwich".

It's gonna seem tricky at first, but once you nail the double-consonants, it gets way easier, I promise! I taught this to my friends back home, and they picked it up after a couple weeks of practice.
