While I cannot speak for tlhIngan-Hol YET, I would like to
mention that after a while of studying French (up to UK GCSE standard), I
found myself actually thinking in French, and understanding what people
were saying without having to translate to English in my head. This state
occurred even though I am not fluent, it just seems that the more you
practice...etc.
While I'm here, and to save another message, I've finally got a
copy of TKD! This is after being on the list since about October. I got PK
about a week ago, and I bought TKD yesterday. (You know the sort of thing
- none at all for ages, then 3 come all at once!) I still haven't got CK
yet though... (Keep hoping)
Anyway, now I may contribute more to the list. (YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)
