I spent a little time studying it but came to the conclusion that Piglatin (which I speak fluently) is way more useful.Are there any Esperanto speakers on this board?
Ĉu estas esperantistoj sur tiu forumaro?
Ooyay ockray!esyay
Que?
Oh for ****s sake lefty. ... :/

Probably a lurker.George Soros doesn't post here apparently.
Considering I had never heard of Esperanto until you brought it up, I literally could not give a flying rat's ***.
Sí. Hablo español.Do you speak a foreign language?
Sí. Hablo español.
Yes, I did my mission in Honduras.I'm going to assume you learned that on a 2 year hiatus from the "real world" sometime in your late teens and early twenties. Amiright?
Anyway...
Do you ever feel at a disadvantage to native speakers of Spanish?
Of course. Just like non native English speakers are at a disadvantage to us.
What do you think the Soros reference I made was? George's father - Fahrvergnügen Soros - was one of the cogs tasked with pushing Esperanto out into the mainstream and popularizing it....hence why Georgey knows the language. Now that crowd will sell you the Utopian version of all their plans all day and all night....but obviously they just want more control and to destroy national boundaries/culture. You really buy into the Utopian long game of this stuff?
Meh.That's one of the reasons Esperanto is cool.
No native country.
Everyone on a level playing field, nobody at a linguistic advantage.
Meh.
I honestly never thought it was that big of a deal. Besides, people trying to learn it are not on the same playing field. There were more than a few gringos down there in Honduras that never quite "mastered" the language. No matter how hard they worked at it, they always just sounded different. I, on the other hand, literally convinced people that I was a native for long period of time. Why would this new made up language be any different?
Damn, I need more sleep.
