Jacques DEHEE | Re: [LinguaFrancaNova] About English was: Introducing myself…

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 !

Friendly
