In college, some friends and I learned a little bit of Esperanto just for the sake of it. It was amazing how fast we learned it and were able to have simple conversations.
However, it’s a mainstream idea that artificial languages are always going to fail because geographically separated people will create dialects and “ruin” the language. It’s a bummer, because Esperanto is really useful (and there might be other artificial languages even better!).
- elldoubleyew 7y agoDid the same in thing in college but with Toki Pona. Think Esperanto but even more stripped down to under 200 words that you combine to express ideas. If you work hard at it, you can reach an intermediate level over a weekend. My roommates and I exclusively used Toki Pona for about a month and I would say we all became very comfortable in the language.
