Today We're gonna talk about something that I get questioned about all the time Now before we get started, I know I'm gonna get a ton of hate for making this video So if you think I'm being ridiculous for learning Esperanto Feel free to leave me some hate down in the comment section below. You will not change my mind Esperanto is a constructed language that was developed in the 1800s And this video is gonna be three reasons why I'm learning Esperanto and why I think you should too. My first reason for learning Esperanto Is that it will help you learn future languages. I'm gonna start this one off with a blanket statement Esperanto is so much easier Than any other language except for maybe Toki Pona The grammar rules in Esperanto are just very easy to follow and there are no irregularities Researchers have been studying this for many years and the results are clear one study found that if you study Esperanto for only 20 hours (Which if you're a nerd like me you can do that in a week.) If you learn Esperanto for only 20 hours You'll learn as much language as if you were learning Spanish French Italian or German for 100 hours Meaning you would be learning five times as much Esperanto per hour Than if you were learning these other languages. Another study showed that among high school students who wanted to learn French over a period of four years Some students who learned Esperanto for one year and then learned French for the next three years learned French to a higher level Than those who had been learning French for the whole four years There's an easy comparison here between learning languages and learning music. If you've never learned a language before and you want to learn Mandarin Chinese That's kind of like picking up a tuba for the first time. There's a reason elementary schools start students off with learning the recorder before they start to learn how to play the tuba It's because it's easier and it teaches you the basic principles for learning how to play music. In this example Esperanto is like the recorder. Learning Esperanto is a low stakes low stress Fun easy way of learning all the skills that you need to develop in order to learn how to learn languages That's why a lot of polyglots recommend learning Esperanto for a short period of time to help you with your other languages Even if you have no interest in continuing to master Esperanto. Of course, if you're a nerd like me Then you're gonna have so much fun learning Esperanto that you won't want to stop Just like how if you're a music nerd like me You're gonna want to keep playing the recorder even after you graduate from third grade, which brings me really nicely into my next point I'm learning Esperanto Because it's fun. Dang it If you've never learned Esperanto You have no idea how motivating it is to study a language for a week or less and already be able to hold basic Conversations with people. I started learning Esperanto the day it came out on duolingo and within that week I was already finding people online to chat with in Esperanto and hold full-fledged conversations Even if my Esperanto wasn't really great. That same week, Chuck Smith released videos on his YouTube channel of people who had been learning Esperanto For 3 days and they were able to hold entire conversations in Esperanto interview style on his YouTube channel, if you're a language nerd like me, this is fun It doesn't matter if you're never gonna take a vacation to Esperanto-land It doesn't matter if you can't get an esperanto minor at college. You learn it because it's enjoyable. When I was in high school I used to spend hours a day playing Halo and nobody thought that was weird, so no I'm not gonna apologize to you for doing something I find enjoyable in my free time If you don't think learning Esperanto is fun. Don't do it But then you're gonna miss out on the opportunity to see what it's like to learn a language at blazingly fast speeds. Now, as much as I find studying Esperanto to be fun The really enjoyable thing about Esperanto is my third reason for learning the language and that is the Esperanto community Whenever I tell people I'm learning Esperanto One of the first objections I get from them is "But you'll never meet somebody who speaks it". This is false I've met a ton of people who speak Esperanto through a variety of means the year is 2018 and we have this big Beautiful place for meeting other people called the internet. There are dozens of apps and websites out there Dedicated to helping you find other people that you can message and chat with online I'm twitter friends with a bunch of other people that speak esperanto on twitter. There's also a thriving esperanto community here on youtube I personally have a separate channel separate from this one where I speak only Esperanto and people are on there commenting all the time I've made a lot of Esperanto speaking friends just through them commenting on my YouTube channel If you're not into online penpals, then physical Esperanto meetings are a real thing There's worldwide congresses local meetups most big cities have Esperanto societies where local Esperantists meet up once a week or once a month There's a yearly meetup in North Carolina where people come from around the world to learn Esperanto together when I was in Montreal this summer for a length fest. I ran into a ton of other Esperanto speakers there There's also a free service called the passport the servo which is essentially couchsurfing for Esperanto speakers I've used this service twice once in Canada and once in Ireland to get a free place to stay and Practice my Esperanto with somebody all these reasons add up to why we say Esperanto has its own culture There's also tons of music in Esperanto literature some originally written in Esperanto and others Translated into Esperanto like La Hobito by JRR tolkien There's also Esperanto TV shows in Esperanto movies one of which stars William Shatner before he was in Star Trek Esperanto culture is vibrant and active and the Esperanto community has been growing larger and larger every day Especially over the last few years since the development of Esperanto duolingo It's an exciting time to be an Esperanto speaker And all I can say is if you haven't considered Trying it before learning Esperanto can give you a lot of reward for a lot less effort than your other languages So thanks for watching the video and we'll see you guys next time
