For a quick start before more, you may introduce it with two points. 1) = = Readability 2) As easy to learn as Pascal. After your talk, for some las= t = words, you may point that Ada is not the too much often depicted dusty = language, and is instead always ahead of most of others, and always = evolving (for the best, not for bloats). If you want to prepare your speech some time in advance to fell better, = = you may request for helps and comments on your text here.
