With a lot of patience, and a good memory. Not everyone wants to learn it, but if you have that languages knack that some lucky people have, it can be pretty fun.

I never really intended to learn it...ever... <_<

I don't think that a lot of people realy know the dictionaire.
it also isn't realy a lanuage that you speak

but with some studies you can learn some of the main words, you can learn how to write the sylabels (sarus writing) enz

PS: I just use the dictionaire for 90% of the things I write in sarus

I'm trying to learn it, even though I'm not gifted in learning languages in any way. I just keep hammering things into my head a little at a time. Eventually I get that word. Also, since there are so many relations to meaning and spelling, I can learn one word and derive instantly a related one. ex: ds = her, so sd = hers; also arrive = rrdl, so depart = ldrr

for referring to people, you start with a d. Then you go around in order of r m f s l t (excluding the double d) and you get:
dr = me
dm = you
df = he (also "it")
ds = she
dl = they/y'all
dt = we

So there are lots of little tricks that actually make learning this language easier than any other language I have experienced.

theoretick it would be easyer but on the other side its a lot harder because you can't make relations to your own lanuage

with english I can make those relations and that makes it a lot easyer

Actually, English is known in a lot of countries. Also, whenever you learn a new language, there is not much relation to your language anyway. It's a different language, so you still have to stop thinking like your language and learn the differences.
Srs wouldn't be any harder to learn than other languages for say, a Spanish speaker. The relation to English is pretty much an all around good thing because english speakers can pick it up more easily and maybe start a trend.
