Re: Teach Yourself (fi: Translation exercise)



IMO that's taking things too far -- it is *never* a waste of time to 
seriously learn *any* language, be it natural or constructed. Did I 
waste my time learning Talossan, when there's only one other person on 
earth (so far) with whom I can talk or correspond in it? No, because 
it adds something of value, beauty and fun to my life.

Having said that, however, the more people you can persuade to learn 
Rumantsch, the better! :))
