I am a hyperpolyglot gigachad alpha male who is so attractive. I speak so many languages that it isn't even fathomable by the average monolingual beta. If you are a monolingual beta, you should be looking forward to my book.
This is my honest take on Esperanto. My opinion is really solid. I am a stable genius.

And what's wrong with that? When you learn a natural language there's no guarantee that you can find a community. The only kind of people who learn Esperanto are those who want to join a friendly international space. It may not be useful but learning languages isn't just about "business" or "travel." But there is a service where esperanto speakers host follow esperantists for cheaper so that's something I guess.

I had no real problems learning Esperanto as a first foreign language. It didnt take long and gave me a great basis for other languages. Instead of going through trying to understand new concepts, I could just spend a little time learning Esperanto and go "Oh, this concept in this language is like this in Esperanto". I've gotten way more out of Esperanto than French or Spanish. It just depends what you do.
@Tiqerboy
@Tiqerboy 5 месяцев назад
Somewhat agree. I actually found it easier to learn Spanish in my second language French, rather than my first language, English, because the word order of Spanish and French is amazingly similar. So, it's easy to think in Spanish using French. I think you would have been better off learning one Romance language well, then learning the subsequent romance languages off your first one. It didn't surprise me that on RU-vid there are actually instructors in French teaching Spanish and vice versa!

This is what I've done with Esperanto: - Traveled and was hosted by Esperanto speakers in different countries; - I hosted Esperanto backpackers from different nationalities in my house and we practiced other languages; - Been to Esperanto meetings in my town, watched cultural lectures with people from other countries, had some nice exchange with people; - Been to an international congress with hundreds of people from all continents; - We spent one week at a hotel with all those people, full immersion, music, cultural events, crazy parties, night clubs, restaurants... everything in Esperanto. - In the congress, I've seen all sorts of weird people: spiritualists, atheists, gays, vegans, Buddhists, old wise men that look like beggars, Linux users... Esperanto attracts such weirdos! One thing is sure: you won't get bored. - One night at 3 in the morning we were with a group of Esperantists on the beach "moon bathing"... all naked! The atmosphere was like in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H_OYn6PZKpw.html Apart from that, yeah, I'd say learning Esperanto is almost totally useless. If you want a language for your career, studies, for sitting down and wait speakers to walk by... Esperanto is a no. However, you could learn it just as mental gymnastics, like people play chess, knit, spend hundreds of hours on social media and play video games... so why not Esperanto? You need to be some sort of adventurer, backpacker and have a certain degree of detachment to enjoy Esperanto to the fullest. At the congress, I bought this book "Ili vivis sur la tero" (They lived on Earth - eight years of migration around our planet). It's the amazing story of a couple who circled the planet speaking Esperanto and meeting Esperanto people. They say: When all your belongings for eight years fit in a backpack, you realize that the joy of life is not about what you have, but really about what you are. So yeah, you have to be a bit crazy to study and enjoy Esperanto and its philosophy. Some correct information: - You will find Esperanto groups perhaps in all major cities around the world, much more than for most natural languages with millions of speakers. - Esperanto is not among the most spoken languages, but it’s definitely among the most studied languages. I’ve conduced some polls in international forums, it ranked among the top 10. We can confirm that with Duolingo, there were times when Esperanto learners were more than a million, more than most of their courses. - It’s actually against the goal of Esperanto to be the language of a specific place. - Esperanto looks European on the surface, but it shares similarities with Oriental languages in the structure, as pointed out by linguist Claude Piron. - China is one of the world’s greatest supporters of Esperanto. Even the official webpage of the Chinese government has an Esperanto version. - Its rich vocabulary allows it to be used in Science and the most refined Literature. An international language must be able to share world knowledge. But that still makes it easier than natural languages - making new words and concepts is like playing with Lego. - English hasn’t become international because of its culture, or because of its intrinsic linguistic properties. It has become international for one chief reason: political and military power. (David Crystal, author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language).

Interesting fact: Since the time of Onisaburo Deguchi, the constructed language Esperanto has played a major role in the japanese Oomoto religion. Starting in 1924, the religion has published books and magazines in Esperanto and this continues today. It is said that they introduced Esperanto when they had contact with the Baháʼí Faith in 1921. A famous practitioner of the Oomoto faith is Morihei Ueshiba, founder of the martial art Aikido.

Probably that experiment wouldn't result in one single international language, it would actually just form multiple groups of people who speak similar languages and these groups would form their own dialects. You'd have the romance languages speakers forming a group of their own, slavic language speakers forming another group, scandinavians forming another, English and Arabic speakers would probably only interact with those who speak their own language, since many countries speak these ones, and those who speak languages that are "isolated" like the person from Hungary, the one from Finland and etc. would either have to learn another language during the experiment or they'd simply be lonely

One feature I love about Esperanto is its agglutination. The book La Bona Lingvo shows how you can be very expressive in Esperanto. It has a lot of words but you can also express complex concepts with a smaller vocabulary. It makes the language able to express a lot of nuance and be more brief. An entire clause can become just one word thanks to affixes and grammar. You can use compound words easily. In other languages, you need to memorise thousands of words. In Esperanto, you need about a thousand and a handful of prefixes and suffixes to do the same.

which is something that languages such as Japanese and Turkish have. I know enough Japanese to get around but when words get long it can be confusing as to what is being said.

I think what would make a 'good' international language will depend on what you want it to do, if it's to facilitate basic communication and understanding of ideas between people globally then Toki Pona is a great candidate, I agree. A lot of care was put into making it simple to learn & understand and pronounced and encourages the idea of circumlocution, which is an essential skill (IMO) for any language learner, because it compensates for missing vocabulary. But if it's to have anything more complex than that, for example, if it's something the scientific community uses around the world, then Toki Pona wouldn't cut it. Though Esperanto could, but then if we make Esperanto a lingua franca, we might as well look at alternative languages that might be better. If we'd be looking at a new lingua franca, I wanna throw my hat in the ring for Indonesian, it comes with some of the simplicity in grammar you find in a South East Asian language but without the complications brought by tones, it has a relatively simple pronunciation & phonology compared to other languages and it is written in the Latin alphabet, which is one of the easiest writing systems to learn. It is considered the Easiest Asian language for an English speaker to learn. With 200 million speakers it is already one of the most spoken languages in the world (which is a lot more than Esperanto), meaning finding people you can practice with won't be that difficult, especially in the internet age.

I think personally we should keep english as the lingua franca of the world. Not only is it the most widely learned language, but it is also a mix of all other major global languages. If you look at the other most spoken languages around the world, you would have Spanish, portuguese, French and German, all of which have a huge chunk of speakers. If you speak any of these languages, you will already have quite easy to learn English. Me myself am Swedish, but already when I were a kid and didn't know english, I could still understand some basic words and sometimes entire sentences in english (if it was written, of course). Thing is, English is kind of a mix of the other european languages, so much so that some people to this day still argue that English is a roman and not german language, or that english originally actually came from the scandinavian vikings.

Also learning it is a mess, you basically have to learn 3 different writing system just to read the language. 2) Which chinese are we talking about? Chinese consists of many "dialects" (Mandarin, Catonese etc), and those dialects are not more mutually intelligible than say, Swedish and German. The only reason why Chinese counts as one language rather than a language tree like germanic and roman, is because they share a common writing system (chinese characters), meaning a mandarin and a catonese can't speak with eachother, but they can write to eachother. While you could say that we are talking about mandarin chinese, most chinese people learn mandarin as a 2nd language. Both language suffer from the fact that they don't have any neighbour languages that come from the same family tree, so there won't be any learning boost for these languages. If you speak any of the major european languages like spanish, french, german portuguese or even russian, you will have somewhat easier to learn english because all of these languages are either germanic or at least indo-european.

It uses elements from EVERY language! Here are some examples: Hello: Hollo (Hola + Hello) Goodbye: Zaidios (Zai Jain + Adios) What's your name?: Comment de name? (Comment tu m'apple? + Como de llamas? + What's you're name?)

There was once, not so long ago, a language like Esperanto that was actually used and actually did what it was supposed to. It's called the Chinook Jargon, or Chinuk Wawa. It may not sound too pretty, but it developed naturally out of contact between Natives and European traders and was used as far up the West Coast as southern Alaska. There's even a tribe that still continues to use it (Grand Ronde in Oregon), who publishes a really info-packed text book in which you can learn all 500 of the language's root words. Tl;dr, Chinook Jargon did it better just by being a naturally-developed contact language.

Perhaps at first Esperanto did fulfill the function for which it was created, but currently most speakers already know that Esperanto does not work as a lingua franca, I, for example, am learning it because it is an easy way to learn vocabulary and understand how many other languages work, I believe that the use of vocabulary from European languages (Spanish, English, French...), is due to the fact that European languages are the most widespread in the world, and in this way it is intended that is the easiest thing for most to learn. PD: In Poland there is a town with native speakers, but it is not a big town

Adapted from a talk by Joel Brozovsky. People are sometimes surprised to learn that as an American, I use Esperanto instead of English when traveling abroad. Why do I prefer to use Esperanto with non-Americans? Friendship. Speakers of Esperanto are usually interested in me or my culture. Many become friends, in fact! By contrast, those people who speak to me in English are usually interested primarily in money. They want to sell something, or they want to learn English in order to be able to get a better education and a better-paying job, etc. Equality. When speaking English with someone whose native language is not English, I necessarily have the position of an expert in the language. Regardless of how much the other person has studied English, he or she necessarily speaks from a lower position, like a student to an instructor or a subordinate to a superior. If instead I speak in the other person’s native language, we have the same problem in reverse. That kind of inequality really gets in the way of friendship. Opening doors. Esperanto opens a tremendous number of doors for me, both figuratively and literally. During a three-year journey I was a guest in the homes of 150 Esperanto speakers; only once did I pay for a hotel! Thanks to Esperanto I enjoyed a rich culture, I met lots of different people, and I really got to learn about their lives, cultures, homes, thoughts, etc. I’ve gained many valuable life experiences which I wouldn’t have had without Esperanto. To help the world. If people throughout the world can communicate freely as equals, and become friends via Esperanto, the world will definitely become a better, more just, more likeable place. I don’t imagine that Esperanto alone will solve all the world’s problems, but it can help people devise solutions. Creativity. I love the tremendous flexibility in the language. Writing or speaking in Esperanto, I feel more free than with English, in which the structure and vocabulary are relatively fixed. The possibilities for creating new expressions in Esperanto are almost endless; it’s really a pleasure to explore them, finding just the right expressions by recombining existing elements. A new world-view. Esperanto has drastically altered my world-view. I once imagined that the world was full of foreign, inaccessible people. You can’t really see eye to eye with people who are foreign, can you? With Esperanto, I discovered that the world is really full of people much like me and my family. And what’s more, many of those people want to be my friends when they meet me and get the chance to know me. I no longer feel tied to only one part of the world and only one culture. I am now linked to friendly people throughout the world, because Esperanto allows me to easily communicate with them.

To be fair, the concept of the language is good. As you mentioned though, the execution is poorly done. I would argue though that, although it isn't a good international language, I believe that it's a good starter language for many. Although it's system isn't the simplest, and far from it, I would argue it is beginner friendly enough to build an introduction into language learning and would help many with developing their own language learning techniques. So although it isn't a good language for communication I would argue it serves a much better purpose of being a stepping stone into language learning as a whole.

There will never be a neutral language for everyone. Every language will be easier for native speakers of some languages compared to others. I think that Esperanto was a good try.

It was a good try, but still failed. The thing is, most people don't want to learn any foreign language at all. In my country, most don't even have an International passport to travel. As for those, who care they aren't bothered so much with its difficulty. In fact a difficult language even has an advantage, because mastering it gives you an edge over the lazy crowd. Also people don't necessarily learn languages to talk with all people around the world, but rather because some culture is "superior" in their opinion and gives them possibilities, so they want to be a member of the "club".

Being the world leading language has little to do with being a good language and a lot to do with being the language of a world power. English for the western world, Russian for the east when the USSR was a thing.

From my personal experience learning languages, I would say that Esperanto being a Romance language is actually a handicap for native Romance speakers. In my time learning languages, if a language is aimilar to one I already know, it's much hardr to speak the learned language properly, because you constantlynconfuse it with a similar language you have know previously. Example: I'm a native Czech speaker and I will never be able to speak proper Slovak. Because it's just so similar to Czech, I will always have a thick Czech accent and will never be able to properly read Slovak out loud, because I will subconciously read it as if it was a text written in Czech. On the other hand, I was able to perfectly learn German pronounciation, because it has no similarities to Czech. But I also struggled with the meaning of some words, because I subconciously connected words to their closest sounding English equivalent. So yeah, from my personal experience, I would say that Esperanto is somewhat hardr to learn for Romance speakers, because it's similar.
