Whatever language that might be, it has been proven that replacing the first year of it with Esperanto will increase your fluency in it.

>>47

Yeah right.  Like to see you try that with Esperanto and Swahili or Chinese.

The reason that Esperanto helps with a forgein language is that it uses a pan-european vocabulary and indo-european grammar.  Since most people are learning indo-european langauges, it helps.  It just won't help you if the language is something else.

If you want to get good at any type of language, I suggest learning something like lating or greek that requires a good grasp of grammar.  Get used to declining and conjugating and understanding case systems. Esperanto won't really force you to learn that the way classical languages do.  Esperanto recognizes only nomitaive and accusitive.  It won't help when you need to mark genative or ablative or dative cases.

>implying Latin and Greek will help you with Chinese more than Esperanto

haha

It took me a month when I was 15 to learn Esperanto to the point of being able to read most things written in it, about two months to be able to understand spoken things and write my own stuff. Two months of my time and it's subsequently helped me with learning and understanding different natural languages. Why does this bother you so much? o_O

>>48
yeah but I want to use the language I learn
hence esperanto is useless

>>51
Not exactly useless. I've seen it used on a lot of websites and software where translating into 7 or 8 languages would have been too expensive/time consuming. In those cases, its definitely very effective. Especially as most Indo-European speakers with an interest in linguistics can understand it.

>>52
I'm and IE speaker with an interest in linguistics and I can barely understand it

esperanto is a dead language

Esperanto Didn't help the chinese to learn any other useful languages outside of there crappy country. Esperanto is still useless.

English > Esperanto .  Learn a real International language. Not some half baked artificial language like Esperanto. I rather learn J.R Tolkien's Elven language than Esperanto. Hell why not MAKE YOUR OWN that is not based on European languages. Esperanto still fails as a synthetic universal language since it's derived from European languages.

It's unrealistic to expect that Esperanto will ever catch on. But it does have some really good features, like the way more complicated words can be built from simple elements easily.

I think it was a good idea at the time, but I think it should be replaced by something else.  I've studied both Glossa and Esperanto and looked over interlingua and either Glossa or interlingua would be better as an international communication because they have no declensions and no congugations.  Folkspraak is also interesting but since most people don't speak a germanic language, it's limited.
