workers of the world unite faggot, do you seriously expect all proles to learn english? do you think most even have the time?
Lincoln Hall
have they added chinese yet? if not, NOT INTERESTED
Adrian Jones
Mia uzantnomo estas anonesperanto kaj mi lernas esperanton. Mi jam finis la arbon sed mi ankoraŭ ekzerciĝas.
Brody Walker
can we all learn Esperanto?
David Phillips
mi lernis esperanton per duolingo. ĝi estis amuzan eksperimenton, sed de neniu praktika uzo. mi forte rekomendas ĝin kiel unuan lingvon, tamen - ĝi helpis min kompreni gramatikon, kaj lerni aliajn lingvojn estas nun facile por mi
i learned esperanto with duoolingo. it was a fun experiment, but of no practical use. i would highly recommend it as a first language, however - it helped me to understand grammar, and to learn other languages is now easier for me
i haven't done it for a while now so i'm kind of rusty, but if enough people here were willing to start learning, i would take it up again and help people with questions and such.
Nolan Sullivan
not yet, and probably not for a while
fuck knows how they'll find a way to incorporate chinese characters
maybe someone might make one with pinyin, but it'd be pretty useless as you could only ever talk, not read
Levi Scott
hello nsa
Levi Price
Duolingo is fucking cancer and it only panders to large groups.
I already know dutch and english, if you switch native language your progress gets fucked up, and they haven't even added mandarin, the largest language in the world, nor japanese for animu.
But somehow its got autistic shit like esparanto and klingon.
Isaac Barnes
Fucking hell its just english, german and spanish mixed together. I dont even speak esparanto but I could read all of these words.
Parker Hernandez
Use the normal input method that already exists? Enter in pinyin and then do the chinese reading excersizes with chinese characters?
Thomas Martin
i've been using memrise, it somehow avoids needing character input but still has a reading component
Hudson Garcia
The Esperanto courses were made by volunteers. I think the same is true for Klingon.
Ethan Williams
I used Memrise for a while but they had some technical problems and I couldn't practice for days and even lost my streak. I was getting fed up with it either way, it's full of bugs and they try to get you to buy their pro membership all the time.

I say that the future communist society must be entirely in latin. Grumio est in horto.

Xavier Scott
correct, the vocabulary is not the attraction, it's the grammar
having studied both esperanto and natural languages, i realise just how wonderful it is to have perfectly regular grammar with no irregular verbs
the fact that each class of word (noun, adjective, verb, etc) has its own suffix to denote it is fantastic as well as it removes so much ambiguity from a sentence
of course, i understand why esperanto will never catch on, but i would nevertheless highly recommend it, as a simple exercise in the "perfect" language if nothing else
in fact all the courses except the main ones (french, german, and spanish for english speakers) are made by volunteers
if you want a chinese or japanese course, find some native speakers and get them to make one!!
Noah Anderson
Bump for esperanto
Jackson Anderson
I would but the google+ shit put my real name all over it
Fucking NSA reeeeeeeee

Brayden Young
Wait just a minute, Muir.
Do you like Sranan Tongo?
Easton Peterson
I made the mistake of trying to handle to many languages at once so it left me with little progress
They will never add Chinese or Japanese because of how those languages work in written form. The system cant handle it and says so somewhere in the forums. Vietnamese is available now and Korean is being worked on.
Kayden Hall
I know that feel
god damn it let's just get on with making esperanto a mandatory language in all schools
Brayden Jenkins

Michael Taylor
Just learn vocabulary with anki, grab a grammar book, and practice with qts on interpals. Shit site is shit.
Adrian Perry
normies out
Robert Flores
I guess you could just shitpost on foreign sites too… just more fun when I've got random girls flirting with me.
Asher Walker
I'm doing French and Spanish at the same time…
It's somewhat petty of me…but I have purposefully not learned those languages since my parents can speak both languages and I don't speak either.
Wyatt Wood
i wish
Ethan Campbell
This. Fuckin' get on it duofags.
Asher Martinez
Studies demonstrate if you learn 2 languages and one of them is Esperanto you will learn the other quicker than if you learned it solo.
Go learn Esperanto rn comrades. It helps with all other languages extremely much.
Isaiah Hernandez
how the fuck can they handle Korean and Vietnamese and not other asian languages?
it's not about being pretentious, it just seems useful, especially for socialists
Ian Torres
Esperanto estas mojosa
Christian Price
What are Holla Forums's thoughts on Lojban?
Josiah Rodriguez
Pretty cool but useless
Chase Morales
That sounds fucking retarded. If my book can handle this shit, so can that thing. All the excersizes are hand made anyway.
Justin Gonzalez
no(?)
Adrian Wright
esperanto mojosas
ftfy
Jaxson Price
Both are correct??
Nolan Hall
yes but it's always best to condense for clarity
and using adjectives as verbs is becoming increasingly common among the eo community, to the point that it will likely eventually be the accepted norm
best to stay ahead of the curve
Jack Kelly
wait
rebel is that u
Adrian Ortiz
Ambiguity is a real problem in communication. The world would be better off all speaking lojban than, say, all speaking esperanto.
Jace Perry
lojban is notoriously difficult to learn - esperanto was designed with the intention of being as easy to learn as possible (and having studied it, i can confirm it succeeds in this task)
have some pragmatism comrade
Jaxson Thomas
I think mass use of any auxiliary language is pretty much a pipe dream. My point is simply that in such widespread use it has several advantages over others. Discourse is often severely hindered by imprecise phrases and language can conceal many reasoning fallacies, for instance.
