I needed a break after speedrunning Hungarian and Klingon, and Esperanto was exactly what I needed. It's a very easy language, created artificially to be easily learned by a vast group of speakers of other languages, especially in Europe. Duolingo let us get quite far ahead in very little time, this time, but it always comes up with little surprises. Learning languages is indeed a time-consuming time, but not as much when you are SPEEDRUNNING, and when you're doing it in ESPERANTO!
Also, while you're here, please remember to like and SUBSCRIBE! It's fast, easy and it helps the channel A LOT. Also, feel free to catch my streams at

90% of learning esperanto is just roots, the other 10 is suffixes. Fun fact: Learning Esperanto was banned in Nazi Germany, but the guards didn't notice it because they thought they were speaking Italian.

Was really looking forward to this! Ŝajnas, ke vi amuziĝis pere de nia stranga lingvo :) Also, a lot of research has been done regarding Esperanto's "propaedeutic" effect-that is, how learning Esperanto as your first foreign language will make it easier to learn other languages, and not just Esperanto's source languages (French, Italian, Latin, English, German, Polish etc). Due to how regular/fixed Esperanto's grammar is, learning grammar patterns in natural languages becomes a lot less intimidating for new learners. It won't help with things like grammatical gender, of course, but it's fascinating to look into. I highly suggest checking out Tim Morley's TED talk, "Learn Esperanto First", which covers this more!

Esperanto is supposed to be a universal auxilery language. The dude who made it did it because he wanted to unite the world. It was made to be super easy to learn compared to other languages. It had 16 rules and was made to have no exceptions. Its mostly roots with preffixes suffixes and modifiers to make new words. I saw something were if you know 1600 root words its equivalent to 20k english words. Its history is very interesting if you look into it.

And yet it fails in its goals entirely. The only natural language with a compatible phonetic inventory is Polish. Guess where the creator of Esperanto is from. Guess. Its orthography is objectively terrible, and it preserves the cultural hegemony build into the most widely spoken natural languages. It's nowhere near easy to learn and is less effective at communicating than any natural language.

In the 60s or 70s, it started to change to "like", probably becuase of the lack of a distinction between "like" and "love". (They were both "amas") It fascinates me how even a constructed language, though much more slowly, can change!

I don't like Toki Pona for that reason; it is mentally demanding to constantly invent metaphors for even simple meanings, and it is also mentally demanding to constantly try to correctly infer a specific meaning just from context and not from roots.

@jccbm 3 ай бұрын

I fail to see how Esperanto grammar is harder. It's incredibly consistent and structured with minimal basic changes and very simple rules. English is plagued with irregularities especially in past tense/participle conjugations and plural formation. Other than the application of the accusative case (in a very simple manner), Esperanto checks every single box in simplicity. Phonetically, English is probably one of the messiest languages out there, it's a well known fact and a meme at this point. That said, I would never consider English a very difficult language when compared to most others, but Esperanto beats it in basically every single rubric. It's literally handmade to be simple, structured, logical and heavily supported in well known vocabulary from other common languages.

@Turkiyeball_animations 2 ай бұрын

"It's grammar and phonotactics are way more complicted than English." English has over 10 tenses. Esperanto has 3. And every sentence in Esperanto is based on strict rules. Do you have an idea how many irregular words are in English? And you think phonotactics of English are easy? It isn't compatible with almost any other language too. There is a reason why every country has a distinct English accent, which is not the case with Esperanto. And don't even get me started on the spelling inconsistencies. Pronunciation is so inconsistent that you can't determine if a given word is spelled as it's pronounced or not. Additionally, when a new word is crafted in the English language, even native speakers can't agree on their pronunciations. GIF is a good example, along with names made up for game characters.

Gosh, it's better to learn Latin then Esperanto.

The Latin course on Duolingo is so limited tho.

Why? Esperanto is spoken by more people and easier. Maybe if you're catholic

Latin is only somewhat useful if you're a scientist or a doctor. Esperanto is very easy but has the same benefits as learning difficult languages Basically it's like how you learned a recorder to later learn the flute. Esperanto is the recorder
