There are many Esperanto communities around the net, podcasts, radios, zoom meetings etc. But I want to tell you about an alternative, Interlingua (IALA) which is a pan-romance conlang designed for "comprende a prima vista". I've been learning it for some time now, and while I progress in Spanish and Latin (using Lingua Latina per se illustrata to self study) the basis I hold from Interlingua really helped me in grokking the two linguas materne... And actually a Galician professor has been in the news for going viral on TikTok speaking and writing only Interlingua to the millions of Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and Romanian speakers [0]. It's a fairly interesting language, and easy to grasp for English speakers I think since most of the Latinate spelling are really similar to English rendition of them (but pronounced regularly like Italian or Spanish). For Toki Pona, it's a really interesting language. I should dedicate some time to learn it... A minimal language that can endlessly be extended as long as your speaking partner understand your terms. That's an intriguing prospect.
