Small Talk in Other Languages

I hope you all enjoyed learning different languages this week. I loved it!
Next week, we'll add "goodbye," "please," "excuse me," "be quiet," and "good luck." And maybe Talal will teach us how to say everything in ZULU!

I hope you will practice your new languages.
If you don't practice, you won't remember them.
You won't remember them unless you practice.
Practice your languages; otherwise, you'll forget them!
Practice your languages, or else you'll forget them!

We can reverse the order of the main clause and the adverb clause when we make the sentence with the adverb clause. However, when we use a conjunction or a conjunctive adverb, we must first state the condition and then the result; in other words, in order to be logical, the conjunction and the conjunctive adverb must come at the second part of the sentence (that was Parfait's question). Is this clear?
