Have you ever wanted to become a fluent bilingual, or even a trilingual? To many people, it is an unimaginable endeavor. However, there is one language that claims you can learn in 2 weeks.
Esperanto was never meant to be anybody’s native tongue. It is neither a national language nor a regional dialect. On the contrary, it is spoken across the globe. Esperanto is an artificial language intended to bridge the gap created by language barriers.
Constructed by L.L. Zamenhof in 1887, Esperanto is one of the most successful artificial language in the world. It aims to eliminate misunderstandings in the scientific community and provide a neutral way to communicate diplomatically.
The language was created to be learned easily with its familiar vocabulary and basic grammatical rules. Most of the words have distinct similarities to European languages.
But why would anyone want to study a language that very few people know? The answer lies in Esperanto’s third goal: to make study of linguistics become child’s play.
Multilinguals have the ability to see patterns and changes in how language is used which makes it easier for them to pick up a third or fourth language.
Do you think that the whole world needs to have only one international language? What kind of language should it be?
世界全体がただ一つの国際言語を持つ必要があると思いますか? どのような言語であるべきですか?
1つの言語であるべきだとは思いません。
でも、一つの言語であるならば、表現豊かな言語の方がいいと思います。
いろんな感情や考えが細かく表現できるような言語が良いと思います。
I don’t think it should be only one international language. But if it should be only one international language, I think it is better that have expressive language. I think the language is better which can describe various feelings and ideas.
To be honestly, because I don’t study artificial language, I don’t know what it is. I know from the movie that there are cryptographies . Computer language may be one kind of the artificial language.
I had studied English in junior high school and high school, but I couldn’t speak. After I became adult, I studied again and I could speak English a bit. After I had some foreign county friends and acquaintances, I began to want to study more.
