Dear Peter,
I found grasje's letter. I also have Warder, used it for decads. Yong
Peng provided the answers for the first part of Warder exercises and
will finish later on.
Try Homepage, green bar, second from the left, dropdown menu, put
cursor on paliscape.
Do not hesitate to ask questions on Warder.
Nina.

> They cover the same topics in the first lessons. The Pali primer is

> For hearing the words spoken out aloud go tohttp://www.tipitaka.net/

> After lesson 8 of both courses you might slowly want to start with
