When reading your message, I can understand the English part completely.
I can't make much of the Esperanto part however. Hence, for me it's
unmeasurably more of an effort to learn Esperanto than to try and
understand someone's English (which I do a lot, trying to translate
Asian English manuals...)

And that's apart from me simply disliking Esperanto for various other
reasons.

Read in an other list (picard language related): the message below.

As to the Bologna decree, teaching of regional languages would no longer be
part of university programs. This apparently applies (for romance regional
languages) in Brussels (French language university) but not in Liège.

Is anyone in the list aware of a focus against teaching of regional
languages in the Bologna decree?

Roger
