Same thing here, exactly.
And I have also another reason for not writing a Teach Yourself Wenedyk book: I
don't want anyone to learn the language. Study it for fun, yes. Browse through
the vocabulary for fun, yes. But seriously learning a constructed language is
something I would never do. A waste of time and energy, really. If someone
really would want to learn Wenedyk, I'd tell him to learn Sorbian, Kashubian,
Rumantsch or whatever instead.
