As much as I like the idea of Esperanto, I think that English has the most potential to be a world language. And I say that as a German.

Kio mi rigardas al Kial?
Could be an easy to learn leftist Sekrit Language or something, I mean you're right, but only because America and Britain, if something like the UN or the EU endorsed it, it would have a chance to be more than a hobby language.

Actually polyglots will laugh at you if they find out you speak this. Have fun wasting your time

Many polyglots speak Esperanto, it's an easy language to add to your collection to languages. Here's one recommending you learn it: youtube.com/watch?v=awubDJg79mw If you want to, it's easy to find situations to use Esperanto outside the internet. It's probably easier than with most languages as Esperanto speakers are everywhere.

Hudson Reyes
Ido seems like the creation of someone who liked Esperanto but wanted it to have the style and retardation of European languages. Possibly the only clever improvement was making the accusative non-necessary in SVO sentences.
Justin Ross
all those languages achieved dominance through conquest and colonization. esperanto is a language spoken exclusively by gay nerds that only other gay nerds want to talk to.
Joshua Smith
Why does Esperanto make people so angry? Are you afraid that you will have to give up your cultural status as a native speaker of the "international language" or why is everyone so butthurt every time Esperanto is mentioned?
David Williams
nobody gets mad about the language itself, it's the claims of espertanto being the future of revolutionary international language as if suddenly the proletariat is going to care about this meme language that nobody speaks and no important books or media is written in. you may as well tell workers to learn klingon.
Nathaniel Gomez
That's probably largely it. It's not a coindence that it's mainly anglophones who are so anal about it.
No one makes that claim tho. We say that it should be the future world language, not that it will be. The reason to learn it isn't the reason behind other language, the point is to be able to eventually communicate with the world, not read mangas or flirt with Latina qties.

Mi bedaŭras, mia esperanto ne tre bone. Mi esprimas, ke mi maltrafis esperantajn fadenojn. Ni havis ĉi tiujn preskaŭ ĉiun semajnon dum longa tempo.
Jonathan Nelson
Japanese would be a lot cooler.
Zachary Wright
Japanese is a borderline useless language where an entire major aspect of it is how submissive to authority you're trying to be.
Nathan Torres
So it's no better than esperanto then? What makes it superior is that people actually speak it as a first language and produce media that others actually enjoy. That does wonders for adoption rates.
Ethan Garcia
Is it true it only takes like 2 weeks to learn Esperanto?
Can any fluent Esperantists ITT say how long it took them to learn?
Leo Walker
Because Esperanto is actually designed to be an international auxiliary language. Easy to learn, logically consistent, and culturally neutral. Japanese literally fits none of those qualities.
That's a bit of a stretch. You could definitely learn the grammar in that time, but enough vocabulary to be fluent would take a couple months. Still significantly less than natural languages.
I'm not fluent because I haven't diligently been learning it and been focusing on other languages, but when I was learning it it definitely came very naturally and quickly.
William Miller
Is there such a thing as an Esperanto accent?
Like am I supposed to pronounce everything a certain way or can I just talk like I would normally?
Parker Evans
You are supposed to pronounce everything in a certain way but nobody is going to make fun of you if some of your sounds are a bit off. But you can't just pronounce Esperanto words like they were English words.
Easton Perez
Ĉu vi intencis diri ke mankis al vi esperantaj fadenoj?

Eli Roberts
One thing that keeps agitating me about Esperanto is how retarded the pronouns are. It's like Zamenhof copied the worst set (English) when he knew a dozen of other languages. Do you think it's possible for new pronouns to be added and widely used?
No, there's not. You'll notice a lot of Esperantists sound like they're speaking their native language. Although obviously the words are pronounced a specific way.
Gavin Ortiz
how is the vocabulary? basic and utilitarian? I wouldn't want to learn a language with no potential for beautiful prose or verse.
Landon Butler
What did they mean by this?
Anthony Martin
Zamenhof translated tons of poems and even wrote many of his own while developing Esperanto.

Even though it's recommended, it's not a requirement. A lot of people alternate between a tap (like the "tt" in "battle" in American accents) and a rolled R. The reason why people avoid the English R is because it sounds like shit.
Blake Ramirez
but comrade all the latinos turn into short fat goblins, look at Jeb Bushes disgusting latino wife.
Im here to help latinos, but I would never dare be involved with one romantically due to how horrid they look but maybe that is just because I am jewish so looks mean more to me than other people with no class or taste.
Nathaniel Diaz
English speaking people from both America and England used to roll Rs.
I really hate this article. I don't think Esperanto is perfect in any way, but most of the criticisms there are just nitpicks and subjective opinions. All of the criticisms are theoretical, none are actually practical.
Benjamin Bailey
Where are the esperanto loli doujins?
Christian Gomez
Make them yourself. You'll have to learn to clean the text up.

There's an yuri VN that uses Esperanto in the game.
