Esperanto course for children

This is the first part of an Esperanto course for children, especially for children who love Playmobil toys. I'd like to encourage children to learn foreign languages, but many languages are not suitable to be learnt in a short period of time, Esperanto is and is used much more widely than some people assume.

@rumpole33 syllables don't matter. Having shorter words is by no means a way to determine if a language is efficient. Esperanto simply makes sense with its vocabulary structure and its consistency makes it all the better. Just about all European languages are longer spoken than English. But again, syllables is not an effective way of measuring a language's efficiency.

you know I never even thought about it, but I'm learning Czech and I just realized when I read that that every time I say the Czech "and" which is "a" i drag it out to make it last as long as and does! The language centers of our brains are amazing things. I would never have noticed that. In Irish and is even longer, it's "agus" ah-guhs.

Longer words makes easier to understand it from far, or in noisy situations.

One thing that annoy me in english for example is the "and", that i think is too long compared to the portuguese "e", though Esperanto is not better, having "kaj".

I feel that I'm more verbose talking in english than talking in esperanto (which I'm still learning). Esperanto also have cool things that you can do with affixes. You can transform any word in an adverb only adding "e" to the end of it, for example.

it seems that esperanto requires more syllables than english does to say the same thing which i think makes it less efficient as a spoken language. but that's just based on this one phrase.

Bonega lau la ideo kaj filmeto, sed la sono ne taugas, mi opinias, ke la uzata mikrofono ne estas kvalita, chu ? Oni pli bone devas surbendigi kun kvalita mikrofono, ekvalizacii kaj aldoni unu efekton, almenau malgrandan. Mi estas muzikisto kaj pro tio mi tre/tro atentas pri auditajhoj. Krome, bona ideo !
