Esperanto
I have tried the Esperanto course in Duolingo. It is the most logical language. Years ago I signed up for a correspondence course. I still have the dictionary.
The history fascinates me. It is a great language for beginners who struggle with languages. It is really good for people whose own language is not known outside their country. Hungarians like Esperanto and have it as a school and exam subject.
But all day long I am learning words from other languages because they sound similar to English. Therefore I realise that a language taking common words, rather than following a logical pattern, is the system which suits me. I would like to suggest Interlingua to Duolingo. How do I do it?
Interlingua
Meanwhile, even if Duolingo agree, I shall have to wait until they start the course. Meanwhile, I followed the link from Wikipedia and found a one way dictionary, from Interlingua words to English words. That would help with Interlingua's own website which is all in Interlingua. I tried looking up the word grammar in the one way dictionary and could not find it. What should I do next?

(Avast sent me a warning about this. My husband told me to ignore that warnings. 'Avast is just trying to sell an upgrade.')
