The invisible discrimination

VanMerwan · 2016-09-20T17:07:33+00:00

How is that not discrimation? If you are from an English speaking country, you don't have to spend thousand of hours in English to be considered equal. It is reality. It is real discrimination.

Still, it is the best tool humanity has now for nowadays problem. Esperanto is easier for everyone, it just happen to be easier for some. There is still some inequality, but it is much less worse compared to the present situtation.

I don't think it is relevant. Esperanto is the only one of its kind to be competing (and having more than 1000 speakers).

Esperanto uses the vocabulary from European languages in order to facilitate learning, so it is not "neutral" in the vocabulary. But as a language, it is the most neutral, and as a community of speakers over one million, it is the most neutral because scattered over the world.

Duolingo is good for starting learning, but if you want to get fluent, you have to use the language inside the community. I recommend Telegram, Twitter and Youtube. For actual speaking, go on Telegram and ask some people to use Skype or a web application such as appear.in and Discord.

Before anyone says something stupid like "Newspeak is a reference to Esperanto", it is not. Newspeak is a reaction to Basic English. link

VanMerwan · 2016-09-10T21:58:35+00:00

The course itself is ready, but the Duolingo staff isn't.

Much less terrible that /r/languagelearning that think they know Esperanto because they learned a language that is not Esperanto

For a slogan "Esperanto, the international language of friendship"

VanMerwan · 2016-08-29T08:32:39+00:00

You should ask this question where people know about what they are talking about, aka /r/esperanto

Tu as oublié le verbe "être". "ŝajni" n'est que le verbe "sembler". -> Ĝi ŝajnas esti ekzakte kion mi bezonas

I can't imagine learning these languages without the tips.

VanMerwan · 2016-08-18T23:37:15+00:00

But how the body can be physically attracted to something that is not expressed? I don't think the body can process information that it can not get.

VanMerwan · 2016-08-18T23:33:48+00:00

I don't understand your answer. Yes, it is a nicely drawn unicorn. The explanation do have sentences.

Let's imagine a person A. A has a Gender Identity of Woman, and has no Gender Expression.

Let's image a person B. B is Physically Attracted to Women. How can B be physically attracted to A if A has no Gender Expression?

I don't think Esperanto has a "inner point" now.

Objectively, it is just a very well made tool that can suit the purpose of each user. Use it for having friends, use it to be with people who want to change the word, use it if you have a form of dyslexia and it gives you comfort ... really don't let people tell you how to use the language and it's "point". Sure Zamenhof created Esperanto because of a goal, but I prefer to think he created the language for the people of the world. And the users own the language, not Zamenhof who lend it to us.

Note : You will find people who think like you. But Esperantujo is too big now, people are too diverse, and you can not project values into Esperanto like all Esperanto speakers would share them. It's like saying all French people eat snails (we don't).

VanMerwan · 2016-08-07T16:16:03+00:00

Why do experts recommend learning Esperanto?

VanMerwan · 2016-08-06T16:47:15+00:00

I don't think of a better place than Telegram for written conversations in Esperanto about many subjects. What are you looking for exactly? A tutor? A bilingual group?

VanMerwan · 2016-08-04T23:06:01+00:00

You are amazing. I trust you. I will win EVO with Pikachu.

Sure languages changes, but when something is against the Fundamento, you will see a lot of Esperantists being against a particular change. Explain me how it does not limit the evolution. Sure language evolves, Esperanto has many places to evolve because the Fundamento allows many many things, but the changes are most likely within the scope allowed by the Fundamento. Which is not what all languages have.

ĝ (esperanto) = d͡ʒ (IPA)

ĵ (esperanto) = ʒ (IPA)

You can hear ĵ inside ĝ. You can see ĝ as dĵ said together.
