Really the biggest reason Esperanto is easy is that it doesn't have a whole culture constantly pumping in new slang and arcane idioms. You can see a word used once or twice and be reasonably certain that you are not missing some subtle nuance or alternative meaning.

- kmicklas 10y agoThe biggest difference isn't the raw number participating in the culture but rather that Esperantists mostly keep in mind the goals of semantic transparency and simplicity when coining new words and idioms.
