So, Esperanto is officially awesome.
Does anyone else study it?
constructed languages are cooonstructeeed
> All languages are welcome for discussion, and everyone should respect each other's language.
When I was in highschool I learnt to read and write Quenya and Sindarin.

Sorry, Esperanto is not a language. It is a poorly pieced Frankenstein, hopelessly trying to mimic a language. Get your travesty out of here, now.
If its a man-made language, its just like any other.
I took a correspondence course, and I'm a member of http://lernu.net/
Lernu is very well constructed and has a lot of work put into it, but I don't know how effective it really is.
Esperanto isn't awesome in any sense of the word.
Esperantistoj: cxu iu el vi estas vojagxita uzante el Pasporto Servo?
I prefer Interlingue at least as a written language, because everyone in the western world can read it immediately:
>Interlingue es un Lingue International, quel es iniciat del baltogermano Edgar von Wahl. Il presentat su projecte in 1922 in un litt revúe, quel il intitulat «Kosmoglott» e self editet in Reval, hodie Tallin (Estonia).
You mean everyone that speaks a Romance language?

you're seriously simple if you're a monolingual english and can't read that
yet it was a bad example sentence.

True.
>Interlingue o Occidental es un Lingue International creat de Edgar von Wahl in 1922. It es immediatmen comprensibil a mult hom occidental, pro to usabil por mult relationes anc con poc studie anterior. Anuncias e reclames e scientic articules in Occidental es comprensibil a milliones de Europanes, Americanes, e Sud-Americanes. Un del grand avantagies de Interlingue es que on posse derivar regularmen milles de paroles international.
Esperanto fails. If you read the 'Goals of Esperanto,' they are clearly narrow sighted.
It also has too many words; prison, jail, etc. when only 1 word is needed. People try to turn it into a 'lets have lots of words, to rhyme and make poetry,' but that hardly makes it simple; it fails.
But lernu.net is a great site, very well done. I still remember some of the stuff I learned, before I decided it was stupid.
Learn a real language. Sage.
