Don't feel bad; it takes quite a while to learn any lang, nat or con!

Me, I'm slow _and_ busy. I _have_ bookmarked all the conlang websites that I know of, though, so that one day, maybe I'll be able to learn the conlangs in depth ("Hope springs eternal..." ) With regard to rtemmu and a web site: the eternal hope will still have to keep springing here too until I find a bit more free time.

In my case, the familiarity that comes from following the detailed discussions of the various conlangs in the postings to the list. Of course, knowing how a lang works and knowing how to use it (speaking, reading, writing) are different types of familiarity.
