Hi Bjorn ! I continue my work about the French-LFN dictionary. . . In my opinion, LFN is the best constructed language made until today. But there is something becoming great in the forum Lingua Mundi, something very new and young ! http://www.linguamundi.sogno.net/ where it is possible to write about the advantages of Lingua Franca Nova. Nothing is lost for LFN !

I still remember an Australian guy in a Manila bar, that told us: "I came here to die".

Both in Africa and Asia I have often been surprised to see people get along with a limited vocabulary and almost no grammar.
