   > Hi Rick!   
   > Thank you for the translation in the previous message - perhaps I'll learn a   
   > thing or two here    
      
   You're welcome!   
      
   For anyone who needs it, I put some very fundanmental stuff in some of the   
   earlest messages here -- especially "La Alfabeto" (I bet you can figure out   
   what that is, without help!)   
      
   Most of what I've posted here, and what I make sure to do from time to time in   
   case no other traffic comes through for a bit, is a short thing in esperanto,   
   followed a short time later (most often immediatly) - with another message   
   that says the same thing in English.  When I write those things, I have   
   learning in mind.   
      
   They're not mecessarily easy material as such.  Lot's of places will give you   
   very simplistic material (I hesitate to say dumbed down). While that's not   
   bad, and I do that stuff too, sometimes I use rather advanced constructions.    
   I've been teaching myself Esperanto and other languages for a long time now,   
   and for me what works best is to jump in the deep end -- just take it in the   
   right size doses.   
      
   For beginners, I figure one liners are about right!  And I try to find or   
   create material that might be interesting in its own right, not that vapid   
   boring stuff that way too many lessons for whatever language have been.   
      
   And for the more advanced speakers, some of my translations might even be   
   thought provoking.  Is it really right to do it the way I did it? I thought   
   so, or I wouldn't have posted it that way.  But if someone has a better way to   
   do it, I'd honestly like to hear it -- and of such are lively discussions made!   
      
   Prizorgu sin!
