[2006-04-14 08:38:46] John Rudd, I wish to start by greeting the list; I am a recent addition and I have been lurking for the past two weeks. You guys already make enough traffic. :-)
JR> And, reiterating Kenneth's question: Anyone have advice for an almost JR> middle-aged person who wants to go about expanding his natural language JR> capabilities? I am an Esperanto speaker. There are many reasons to give it a try. These are pretty much universally accepted: For one, it's quite simple to learn, for those who already know an indo-european language; after a couple months you'll be able to sustain a decent conversation. It also helps recognizing and understanding other languages. There have been experiments on this. There are also social and personal reasons. I won't enter into this, though. If you are really interested you'll find them out by yourself. I will only say that I found the language really intriguing, very expressing, and fun.
