Hi, Mark.

I wish I could say that lfn is the road to international
understanding... but I can't.  Knowing lfn vocabulary might help -
many words are close to their Spanish counterparts -- but the grammar
is nothing like Spanish, and they are likely to look at you like you
are from outer space.  The same would be true for any of the other
Romance languages.  Someone who speaks one of them would pick up lfn
very quickly, but not so much the other way around!
