Just saw this post from >you. I know nobody's teaching it. But how could anyone teach a language >that changes so fast? Who is teaching the language? If you understood what an Ebonics program was, you wouldn't ask such a silly question, since no one in fact teaches "a language that changes so fast". But as another form of answer, the language known as "Latin" evolved over a thousand years, and the church Latin spoken today is quite different from any form that was spoken in the Roman Republic or Empire. Furthermore the formal language of rhetoric (Cicero) was quite unlike the "vulgar" language, which shows up in other writings. How can anyone teach a language that changed so drastically? Ask any Latin teacher - it isn't hard. The goal isn't fluent speech of course, but to understand what others are saying. Much easier. lojbab -- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, Founder, The Logical Language Group (Opinions are my own; I do not speak for the organization.)
