Il es multo simple dicer que debe esser facite. Io sape equalmente que io
poterea (would be able to) facer si io habeva 18 milliones de dollars USA.
Le facto es tamen, que io non ha iste moneta, e pro isto io debe ingagiar
un association de education pro poner cursos de interlingua e postea
interessar gente in iste curso. Isto es lo que io in mi position pote
facer.

pote                    can             povas
Io pote etiam usar interlingua maximalmente, non particularmente pro
"demonstrar que interlingua vive" ma proque isto es mi optime medio de
contacto trans le frontieras de linguas. Io lassa con corde calide le
angleses al "spikatores" native.

Si, isto es un luxo, que on pote permitter a se quando on jam ha un lingua
mundial a su disposition.
