I've always felt deprived growing up monoligual when many of my friends
are either bilingual, trilingual, or monolingual-and-a-half. I hope to
be able to teach my children [my conlang] Rokbeigalmki, in addition to
Hebrew, Spanish, Yiddish, and any other natlangs that i may acquire from
now until i get married and have kids.
