Intertempe fondiĝis Gold Coast Esperanto en suda Florido!

Yes, the book has a lot of pages but so what ? Does this mean English grammar is difficult ? I don't think so.Even so grammar is not the only factor you need to know a language.English has an extremely rich and intersting history.Esperanto is certainly the poorest language in terms of vocabulary.I find lowering the bar dangerous as it makes the variety(something I really appreciate) disappear

[robbkvasnak]

@duodat is definitely uniformed about the extent of vocabulary. Esperanto definitely has about the same stock of roots (in Esperanto we think in roots, not in words) as does Icelandic, a language with which it shares the word forming function of using roots. BTW this was also true of old Anglo-Saxon. It was the French nobility that conquored England that introduced the complex and confusing vocabulary mess of modern day English. E-o is more precise than most national languages.

@duodat Esperanto actually has more words than you would think. And that fact is, Esperanto is easier to learn than English. Admittedly the book argument was not the best, but his point is a good one. It takes eight months for the average person to learn Esperanto (A year and a half for someone who speaks a REALLY different language, like Chinese), as opposed to the six years for English, and that is for someone who speaks French, a pretty close language.

Estus bone havi subtekston en Esperanto.

(I know that Portuguese would be more easy for me to learn, but not por a japanese!) Mi friends from Asia also tell me that Esperanto is the logical solution for the communication problem and they say that it was much more easier than English.

[alejandro31192]

(mi scias ja ke la portugala estus facila por mi, sed... ne por la japananoj) miaj asianamikoj diras al mi ankaux ke ESPERANTO estas la logika solvo por la Interkomunikado  kaj estis pli facile lernebla ol la angla.

[alejandro31192]

Mi eklernis esperanton ekde oktobro 2010. Tempaltempe mi legas ion esperante. Jam kiam mi lernis gxin dum unu semajno, mi ja povis legi tekstoj helpe de vortaro. Mi estas universitatlernanto, kaj studas tradukado kaj interpretado. Jam mi parolas la franca kaj la anglas bonege! Mi ankaux parolas la hispana (denaske) kaj jxus ekas la sveda kaj dauxre lernas la germana. Do, sciante cxi cxion, mi povas deklari ke, esperanto estas la plej facila lingvo por cxiuj!

Esperanto: la plej bona lingvo en la mondo!

@DarthMaul8065 Hmmmmm? Improve it? In over a century of arguing the point there has never been any concensus on what features of the language need "improving" . The very point one authority gives as a disasterous flaw, another acclaims a stroke of genius. The Accusative is a good example, It is hated by those speakers of Western European languages that dont have it, Yet its role has grown substantially since Zamenhof's time and it expresses a lot of grammar.
