The best way to learn a language is to use it. The best way to help
someone learn the language is to help them use it. If you can find
situations where you can use a limited vocabulary well, make up word
lists and use them, trying not to resort to English for communication.
Encourage anyone who is interested to join this mailing list and to
visit the MUSH regularly.

They need a way to practice the language with appropriate feedback.
Perhaps the postal course would be appropriate? And since I live only a
couple of hours from Bloomington, we should all meet somewhere for pizza
or something and I can be a "special guest" at a qepHom. :-) (By the way,
where were you in May when I had mine, eh?)
