    I'm sure there's a few, but you know what it's like - imagined reactions 'dead language/are you in a posh school/what are you doing that for?' puts people off posting.

    I wish I had done it at school. I just missed the last class of it in our school. It is a MASSIVE help when learning other languages put particularly ones like Polish and Russian which can be really tricky without it.

    I once saw it used as a common language in the Far East of Siberia, between two elderly men, which was kind of cool. It was the only language they had in common.
