The page is very interesting, but I'm not sure that it would help learn to
express yourself in ON. One of the things that I found was making learning ON
harder was that I didn't realize that the syntax was provided by the
declensions, and the page seems to reinforce the idea that we can plug the
words into an English syntax, let alone learn the language from what is a
somewhat foreign worldview.
