would anybody be interested in this?

i've been considering teaching fakelanguage lessons via livestream. in particular i was gonna try and do a series of "classes" related to Phelenfar, the fictional language used by the Phelkar race in my RPG. it wouldn't just be for your benefit(?), either. i'd be doing this to help MYSELF grow more accustomed to speaking and writing the language. and of course i'd be answering any questions regarding Phelenfar (and Rose Odyssey in general) throughout each stream. might even do a few doodles.
this would probably run on a fixed schedule, with each class being maybe half an hour to an hour each. we'd be covering the alphabet first, then learning basic vocabulary, and finally verb conjugation and some simple sentences. i'd like to stress that this language is not simply a cipher, such as al bhed or the melnics language. if you want a more accurate equivalent, think quenya or na'vi. there IS a separate alphabet, but a lot of the pronunciation is relatively similar to american english. sentence structure has more of a romance influence. the writing is more...runic, i guess. but it flows together in a fashion that's a bit more like arabic. if you want to see just a small preview of the way this language works, click here.
there wouldn't be any homework and i wouldn't be grading anybody. what i'm going for is more like an interactive lecture than a crash course.
i don't expect many people to be all that interested in this, since i figure my fascination with fake languages PROBABLY puts me in the minority. xD but it seemed like a neat idea when i first conceived it, so...
i'unno. anyone interested, besides me?

aaand i've been looking into making an actual typeface for this, yes. there are a few issues i've been having, though. the first involves the way the characters "connect" between vowels and consonants and such, and the second is that, as with any font, it's only visible for other people who have the font installed. :T granted that's not too much of a problem for me, since i'll mostly be using it in image files and in my RPG, but for other people who want to use it elsewhere, it could be slightly problematic.
