‘Game Of Thrones’ Fans Can Now Learn Dothraki Before The Season 7 Premiere
“Game of Thrones” fans now have the opportunity to learn the language of Daenerys Targaryen and her army of Dothraki soldiers, as the fictional language is now being taught at a respected college.
The University of California at Berkeley announced plans to offer a summer course teaching Dothraki. The class will be taught by David J. Peterson, the linguist who invented the language for “Game of Thrones.” The course will run from May 22 to June 30, meaning participants should be fluent in time for the Season 7 premiere.

Learning one of the many fake languages on the show isn’t the only way you should be preparing for the Season 7 premiere of “Game of Thrones.” Get busy analyzing the trailer, photos and spoilers or theories. HBO recently released a slew of stills from Season 7 that give some serious insight into what’s to come.
The most telling of all the photos in the set of 15 shows Gilly (Hannah Murray) reading with Sam (John Bradley-West) at the Citadel. One dedicated “Game of Thrones” fans with a keen eye was able to read the page she’s eyeing, sharing the text with fellow Thronies via Reddit. The text reportedly has to do with the Azor Ahai Prophecy, meaning Gilly may be the one to crack the code and reveal the Prince that was Promised.
“It is also written that there are annals in Asshai of such a darkness, and of a hero who fought against it with a red sword. His deeds are said to have been performed before the rise of Valyria, in the earliest age when Old Ghis was first forming its empire. This legend has spread west from Asshai, and the followers of R’hllor claim that this hero was named Azor Ahai, and prophesy his return. In the Jade Compendium, Colloquo Votar recounts a curious legend from Yi Ti, which states that the sun hid its face from the earth for a lifetime, ashamed at something none could discover, and that disaster was averted only by the deeds of a woman with a monkey’s tail,” the passage states.
The Azor Ahai Prophecy is an important, albeit confusing, ideology in the “Game of Thrones” universe. It promises that an undefeatable hero will be reborn to save the Seven Kingdoms from the Night King (Vladimir Furdik) and his undead army. Some believe the chosen one is Jon Snow, while others are completely in the dark.
This aspect of the “Game of Thrones” universe isn’t the only thing teased in the Season 7 photos. Viewers also catch up with Tormund (Kristofer Hivju) and Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie), Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) and Littlefinger (Aiden Gillen) and more. The stills leave much to the imagination about what’s to come, but if you analyze hard enough you just may uncover something major.
