Wow. I should probably try that. razz I always make up the grammar first, then make up the alphabet and punctuation and whatnot, then the words. Ehh... So much grammar...so little time... ;__;

I don't actually know if that helps or not sweatdrop I guess I should go see! Ack, but I have homework! Sigh. Well, maybe I'll try this weekend.
I kind of go for the pick the sounds in your language first approach... but I add whenever I want to, because I don't like limiting myself. If I can make a sound and I think it should be in a word, it's in there. cool

Mivi And I'd also like to learn how to modify the English keyboard layout, like have a "Á" instead of "Q" and so on... smile Do you know any good sites for this? Go to Control Panel, open the Region and Language Configuration dialog (though I dunno the real name, my Windows is in Spanish), and in that dialog you'll find a place where you can configure your keyboard's language scheme. I don't remember how you do that on Linux though. If you have the GNOME desktop (Red Hat and Ubuntu start these by default), open the System -> Preferences menu, and you'll find the keyboard configuration dialog there. Just select your language and you're done.

...Can it really be that simple? o.o
Grammer is an umbrella term for me. Relative clauses were a huge hurdle in my conlang. Thankfully, I'm past that and almost done with prepositional phrases.
That 'grammar' step is easier said then done. @.@

I rather wonked out on relative clauses at first, but it all worked out.

I seem to be somewhat alone in the "Grammar hasn't given me any problems" club. surprised
Grammar is like the ONE aspect of conlanging that I can crank out like clockwork without problems. Alas, the same cannot be said for vocabulary building and word structure. Of course, I tend to stick to easier isolating and analytical grammars dependent on word order and particles, but the few synthetic conlangs I did attempt, it was getting all the affixes to look and sound right that gave me problems, not the multitude of different declensions and conjugations. sweatdrop

Meh. You aren't alone. As long as I have enough resources and know what I'm talking about, I can do some pretty pwnful grammar lessons for my conlangs...

For a first conlang would it be better to use the English alphabet, sentence structure ect, or is that not good?

I agree with EI.
Really, if you keep the alphabet and sentence structure, all you'll have is different sounds (maybe), and made up words. You won't have a conlang, just a cypher -- a code language.
You also won't gain any real new experience or knowledge from it. You don't necessarily have to start from scratch completely... But you should at least try to change the sentence structure.
