The Language...

So you want to learn a new language, I'm sure it is easier to learn with small basic sentences and not full on, full speed local dialect.

That's my prefixed excuses set up...

I had to do it, I had to take my christmas cube apart.  I'd mixed it up beyond any reasonable doubt of being able to solve it.  Hopefully from the starting position it will be easier to ascertain the language of the puzzle, how the different twists and faces interact with each other to move the pieces into place.

I also inadvertently managed a wee optical illusion of the half built cube floating.
