Government language study released (fwd)

[MiaKalish@LFP]

We didn't get that far. This was for basic lexical acquisition, without
using Any English. We thought the success of our first project would excite
others, and we would have the chance to develop the Flash movies for
teaching grammar dynamically, the way it is usually learned. . . but alas,
we became bogged in politics I care not to remember, and we never got the
chance to take the project further. It was as if they hated us for being
successful, even though half our partnership was indeed of the same tribe,
and our success would have helped the middle generation recover language and
culture.

sad.
