czajkowskiI think once a person has managed to learn English as not their native lanugage every other language must be easier12:03

czajkowskiToki Poki ?12:05
highvoltageczajkowski: awesome constructed language. it only has about 130 words, of which 30 or so sound very similar to other words, it's meant to be super-easy to learn, so people from different cultures and languages can also pick it up quite easily and use it to communicate12:06
highvoltageI mean, Toki Pona of course :)12:07
