Good. Then it isn't against nettiquette to answer you in English.

Antonio Martins (who you are responding to) is Portuguese, so that
might be true. But another esperantist netfriend of mine, Zhong
Qiyao, is Chinese. Can he also "devenir competente in interlingua"
so fast as he can "apprender le esperanto"?

There's probably a not too crazy definition that will qualify that as
true. But why is it interesting?

You mean Interlingua is "vivente e ric" just because Italian, Spanish,
Portuguese, French and English are?  Wouldn't it be fairer to look
at what is being produced in the language in question itself?
