Vostre essayo a scriber interlingua es jam proxime al forma standard de
interlingua. Vos non ha studiate lo. Il ha bon textos pro apprender le
interlingua. Io cognosce plure individuos qui ha apprendite bastante
interlingua a scriber plure paginos in illo in duo septimanas.
Io discoperiva Interlingua in 1954 e post leger alcun articulos scribite
in illo in Science News Letter, io obteneva le Interlingua-English
Dictionary e le Interlingua Grammar (in anglese). In duo o tres
septimanas, io scribeva un breve description de interlingua in interlingua
pro illustrar lo in un articulo in le jornal litterari a mi universitate.
Io deveniva active in le Union Mundial pro Interlingua e redigeva un
parve bulletin in interlingua super topicos de usage e le grammatica
in interlingua. Post 1967 io deveniva inactive, e solmente iste anno
passate, io discoperiva Kjell Rhenstrom scribente in interlingua hic in
sci.lang. Mi sapientia de interlingua retornava rapidemente, e le
opportunitate a usar lo in le rete mundial ha augmentate mi sapientia
de interlingua.
Il es facile a apprender a scriber e parlar le interlingua si vos jam
sape un lingua romance o le anglese, e non troppo difficile si vos
parlar un lingua germanic e ha un bon inseniante o texto de instruction
in interlingua.

Si, lo que vos dice es un argumento pro interlingua foras le linguas
purmente romance. E interlingua pare plus latin que romance proque le
anglese es un del linguas in le serie de linguas usate pro constatar
le vocabulario de interlingua super le base de prototypos commun al
variantes con formas similar e significationes similar in le serie.
Le anglese pressa le cerca pro prototypos al latino popular e le
neolatino. Io sape ben le phenomeno de traduction a calco del
latino a in le linguas germanic.
Il ha un bon dictionario anglese-interlingua in le tela transterrestre.
Cerca "interlingua" e seque le ligamines.
