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.
