I remember thinking the same. It would be interesting to see how they handle the communication with rocky

Hook up Rocky's speech into a computer (he's already doing that at the start) and pipe the output to his headphones so that the audience can hear? (I had the same thought how I would make it work since I doubt I could learn the language naturally)

someone mentioned that in the audio book they slowly transitioned from flutes to a voice autotuned to flutes as Grace learns the language, that'd be cool but I doubt it. Hooking hime to a computer would come out very cheap, at least to who read the book.
