Vicente Costalago's Excellent works

Perhaps I am gushing, but I just wanted to make a few comments about Mr. Costalago's style of writing.

I am new to Interlingue, but not to languages, as it were. I spoke Irish Gaelic with my mother while she was alive, and when I was a freshman in the private high school I attended, we were required to take mini-courses in Latin, French (although I was in the hospital for a month after a motorcycle accident), German, Spanish, and Sanskrit. And recently, I started but became very bored with Esperanto.

And even though I am technically only 42 days in with learning Interlingue/Occidental, I have NEVER been able to understand and comprehend more in any other language. It is simple astonishing...but having this extensive of a language background makes it easier, I am sure.

Mr Costalago's writing style is very conducive to reading comprehension in Interlingue. He is direct and concise, and very interesting to read. I am a fan, and eager consumer of his works.

​

THANK YOU for the effort, Mr. C.

Awesome to hear! Fun fact: he has actually written yet another book that will be published as soon as I (and maybe some others) get around to finishing proofreading it.

That is outstanding to hear! I will be first "in line" on Lulu once it's ready for print.

Just as an update...I purchased his latest book last night. I am excited for another book, as I find myself consuming as much Interlingue as I possibly can.

Which work is your favorite? Any specific suggestion for a place to start? :)

Oh, I didn't realize. I just linked to Google's top result iirc. I guess this is more appropriate for this sub https://ie.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicente_Costalago
