Hi Oskar,

Thank you for your efforts to improve the class. I'm still poking
away at Lesson 5 and I know after that I plan to do some "back"
learning" with lesson six and with general review.
To try to help myself learn I have also started re-typing the
lessons myself, organizing them into catagories. Much like lesson six,
but by doing it myself it may help me remember more.
Each lesson actually gets harder for me as I try to fit the new
grammer into the sentences.I was better at ON baby talk, now I have to
try to get up to adolescent stage :{}. I forget to watch for things
that affect the suffixes.
I'm still enjoying it though. Part of the reason it takes me so long
is life in general and just laziness in not applying myself as I
should.
By the way, I tried to download the font site that you posted but I
get a message saying that I don't have the advanced version of
Netscape. To get the adanced version of Netscape I have to buy it
apparently. SO I will look into that.
Right now, thanks to Keth and Robert and a few others, I am using the
Alt + number system which seems to be working well enough.
