Wonderful, congratulations, Fiete!!! An example for all:
USE YOUR LANGUAGES in speaking with youngsters,
especially if they belong to the category "endangered languages".
I wish many youngsters would have that chance.
Mine don´t. because I speak LS very poorly (thanks to my schooling).
All I can do is read to them because I still got the accent.
But that´s not enough. They start understanding a bit. That´s not SURVIVAL
:-(
Greetings, Fiete, greetings all
Mike Wintzer
