Last night I was at Barcelona's monthly Esperanto social event (in a bar) and a 10 year old boy came along with his Mum. He'd started learning on Duo a few months back and could already speak well enough to us to tell us about himself and how he discovered Esperanto. Really cool.

@jose Exactly! I personally see it just as a tool to meet diverse and interesting people. It certainly won't hinder future attempts to learn Spanish or French either, and not least because it'll give you the confidence that you can build up the ability to think and communicate in another language. If you have any questions, more than happy to help! · 8 months ago
@martin, you have me intrigued. I've heard of Esparanto before, but dismissed it. I've heard the criticism that if you're going to go through the effort of learning a language, you might as well learn a natural language. After seeing your video "I learned a made up Language," I realized the amount of time learning it may not be as insurmountable as learning a natural language. Also, learning Esperanto doesn't seem like it would hinder me much in learning another languages, like French or Spanish. The thought that it could open up my exposure to many different people from around the world -- who speak the same language, regardless of country -- does sounds exciting. · 8 months ago
