That doesn't surprise me. Stupid me, I typed a hyphen instead of an underscore! If this is not going to work, then I'll thrust my computer to the ground in anger: http://www.geocities.com/wenedyk/language/sonh_cpaetem.wav <sigh> I'm not lucky with links lately... :(

Yes indeed! I had never thought of that similarity myself, but when I first heard myself reading the texts, it was the first thought that occurred to me.

I hope so... Otherwise I should really start working on my accent ;)

Hehe. Before I learnt Polish I always had the impression that Polish is a remarkably "wet" language :))

I forgot that this is still an old version of that page, with only your "Get-to-know translation exercise" (perhaps I should record that one too, what do you think?) I really have to invest some work in the relationship between me and my pages... Anyway, it will be fixed within a few hours!

I haven't any :(( . As I wrote earlier, I have never been able to lay the link between my conlanging and my music. But I will eventually try something!
