I enjoyed this very much. I love actually hearing other people's languages.
Once it is out there vibrating in the air, it seems much more alive to me
than just the written form. Also, I feel a lot more confident reading over
texts when I have some idea of what it is supposed to sound like. Even a
small sample of a language is enough flavor to help on that score.

And you do have a very nice voice, Thomas.

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to this. My e-mail is currently
spread over two different machines, and I just hadn't gotten back to this
one until tonight.
