I wish there was, but what would that be ?

Suppose you wanted to write, a long passage with regards to the process of learning a foreign language. Starting from how often one should study, how one should study, the things one should avoid, etc..

How would you approach it, without using the -lu' ?

The only choices I can think of, are saying {vay'} and/or {ghojwI'}, and using them interchangeably. But I would avoid the - lu', if not for any other reason, at least in order to avoid hitting the simultaneous -laH/lu' obstacle.

Would you approach this differently ?

I'd probably use imperatives. If it's a book of instruction, instead of saying naDev wot lo'nISlu' one needs to use a verb here, just say naDev wot yIlo' use a verb here!

If, on the other hand, you're writing a scholarly paper on how people go about learning languages, then I'd pepper my manuscript with ghojwI' student, jatlhwI' speaker, or whoever it is who is learning. naDev wot lo' jatlhwI' the speaker uses a verb here. Then your -laH problem doesn't even exist.
