Tio implisan ce "te" estan familiara - cu estan tiele? Cu eble cambi
al io ciesa "There are no 'formal' or 'informal' variants of the
second-person pronouns"?

This implies that "te" is essentially an intimate form in EP - is it?
Might it be a good idea to change this to something like "There are no
'formal' or 'informal' variants of the second-person pronouns"?

> Questions may have the verb before the subject, e.g. Parla tu Engles?

Mi [mi reiran al "mi", seqe de loa recomendo fare de Mike] suposan ce
tio devun esti corectita al "Parla te Engles?", sed mi samtempe eman
demandi cu povon esti ambigueso en tiesas casos pro la uso de la basas
pronomos ciele posesivos.

I suppose that should be corrected to "Parla te Engles?", but I'm at
the same time inclined to ask whether there might be ambiguity in such
cases owing to the use of the basic pronouns as possessives.
