He continued his studies in Poland at Warsaw University and worked at the Warsaw Autumn festival for contemporary music. In 1997 he became a Polish translator and interpreter in the Netherlands.〔(Translator's profile )〕 In 1996 he started working on an artificial North Slavic language, ''Vuozgašchai'' (Vozgian), and in 2002 he created another language, Wenedyk, a reconstruction of what Polish might have looked like if it had been influenced by Vulgar Latin. In 2006 he was one of the initiators of the Pan-Slavic language Slovianski (later renamed Interslavic), as well as the coordinator of a project for the creation of an electronic Interslavic dictionary.〔(M.
