While qonwI' has written grammatical sentences, I don't think they mean
what is intended. I read the first words as "Do I mumble? I do not hope."
I assume the second sentence should have been "I hope I do not mumble", or
{jIjatbe' 'e' vItul}.

There are several possibilities. {'oHmo' jIghoj} is very close to the
English phrasing of "I will learn from it." I myself would be a little
more specific and say {jIghojmeH vIlaD}.
