Not bad. You may also try this one:

Very few of us, very few. Personally, I cannot. Not because my language is too
small for it, but just because I've never cared to learn it. Why should I want
to be fluent in Wenedyk?

Ah, but that's an entirely different question. Having a well-developed conlang
does not necessarily mean being fluent in it. On the other hand, one can very
well have a conlang with only 200 words and be able to use them fluently
anyway. Fluency has nothing to do with vocab size; it is rather caused by a
very frequent use of the language, either by writing a lot, by thinking in it,
or by talking to one's parrots.
