I have a friend who is a total Esperanto fan. He is almost evangelical about how amazing it is.

It's all a bit weird...

Why do you think it is weird? I think it's great it is increasing again now. I learnt a little bit 50 years ago as a child and was always sad that it was declining in use as I grew older. So glad it's growing so fast now. It is a fantastic idea - my Grandfather used to tell me of how often it was used between allies of different nationalities during the war, both on the battle field, and in prisoner of war camps, and after the fighting had finished, managing the truce. It undoubtably saved many lives

Ooh, I need to go and find my text books first. It's been too long. Esperanto museum in Vienna is fascinating for the history and its Hitler connections.

My 15 year old decided to learn Esperanto last year. You can do it on Duolingo. She ordered 2 novels in Esperanto - The Curious Dog in The Nighttime and another but I forget what one.
Curious Dog took a while to arrive. It was clearly one of those "print to order" books.
My Granny apparently learned it for a while. She was Welsh but of the era when speaking Welsh in schools etc was forbidden (born 1905) so maybe that was her "fine - screw you I'll learn another language" rebellion.
I don't know any Esperanto.
Which is why this comment is in English.
I apologise for my lack of language skills 🙂🙂🙂

Ne sed mi havas malnovan libron pri ĝi el 1900 kaj mi eble lernos estonte. Mi ne havas tempon nun. Mi amus, ke ili instruu ĝin en UK-lernejoj. Mi trompas ĉi tie per reta ilo kaj la libro! 😀

Saluton! Mi lernis de mia patrino sed multon forgesas.
What a surprise to find Esperanto here. I don't know how you convince people it works, without them learning enough to experience it for themselves.

sharptoothlemonshark · 20/01/2024 18:40

Saluton @Molly0 ! Mi Scias!

I wish it was taught in more schools. It seems to be taught much more in Asian countries. I am in a face book group with 30k members from all over the world, which is nice. I am a complete beginner and heavily reliant on google translate at the moment

Bonan matenon.
There was a trial teaching Esperanto as the first foreign language in schools, and a GCE was developed. Mum proudly had the certificate on her wall. The kids who learned Esperanto first, took well to learning conventional foreign languages.
hodiau estas bela tago. La cielo estas blua kaj la suno brilas. Eble ni havos malbona vetero poste.
if we're having the weather should it be accusative?

Saluton! Mi estas Moganthemog

I started learning Esperanto in the 90's with a correspondence course! I don't remember much but I just started again this morning with Duolingo.
