is it useful learning the language "esperanto"??

Question

then how do i apply that language in future??

Answer 1

"Esperanto" is a fascinating attempt at creating a practical 'artificial language." There are several reasons why learning it is a worthy activity -

1. Drawn from many other language roots, and built with a regular structure, Esperanto opens your mind to wider understanding of your own language and how to use it better.

2. Extending the first point, once you learn Esperanto you will find it much easier to learn other tongues.

3. You can have a LOT of fun with other people around the world who have learned Esperanto, you will "get" some inside jokes built on Esperanto in many novels (mostly science fiction), and if you get other friends to learn with you then all of you will have your own "secret code."

4. As a very practical matter, it is quite unlikely you will use the language to earn a living unless you find work in the small global community of Esperanto. But you will, as noted already, have many benefits from taking the effort.

Below is a short overview copied from . The website even has a free downloadable course in Esperanto, in many different languages.

Origins
The basic rules and words of Esperanto were proposed by L. L. Zamenhof at the end of the 19th century. Within a few years, people started learning it and formed a worldwide community. Since then, Esperanto has been in use (and freely evolving) just like any other language.

Characteristics
Esperanto has a very regular structure. Words are often made from many other roots, and in this way the number of words which one must memorise is made much smaller. The language is phonetic, and the rules of pronunciation are very simple, so that everyone knows how to pronounce a written worde and vice-versa. All this make the learning of the language relatively easy.

Most Esperanto roots are similar to words from Romance, Germanic or Slavic languages. However, Esperanto is not merely a "pot-pourri" of those languages, but a true and independent language in itself - structurally more similar, furthermore, to non-European languages than to European ones.

Using Esperanto
Esperanto is most useful for neutral communication. That means that communication through Esperanto does not give advantages to the members of any particular people or culture, but provides an ethos of equality of rights, tolerance and true internationalism. This can be seen in many diverse situations: international meetings, books, magazines, music, the Internet of course, and often also in private and family life.

Young people can have very meaningful experiences through Esperanto: being hosted free of charge in the homes of people in other countries and making contact with their culture without barriers; enjoying international festivals and training at interesting seminars; becoming acquainted with and learning more foreign languages; and becoming active and taking an interest in TEJO, as the case should arise.

Answer 2

No, it probably won't be useful, unless you specifically seek out places where you can use it. It's just a mixing of languages with a strong basis in romance languages, but people who don't speak esperanto might not understand it all (some will understand more than others).

Personally I live among Catalans and Spaniards and I've heard some of their comments on it. "Eww" summarizes it pretty well. You're much better off learning a REAL language, like Spanish for example, that will get you much further and many more people speak it. Esperanto is basically useless, and in general not looked upon favourably by speakers of romance languages.

Answer 3

Ah, another failure of "central planning". No, Esperanto is probably useless, except as a relic of curiosity.

It was created by a bunch of really smart people who believed they could produce the perfect language. What they found out is that people aren't drawn to a perfect language; they're drawn to a language that is used by other people, and one that has some character. Thus, Esperanto is pretty much on the dustheap of brilliant ideas that don't work in reality.

Answer 4

The "MOST USEFUL" language DEPENDS on your profession or personal interest. If your field or interest is in the arts and western philosophy, for example, then Italian, French or German would be the most useful. If it is in Buddhism and eastern philosophy, then Chinese, Japanese, Hindi and Sanskrit would be the languages to learn. In today's business world, the most useful languages are French, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese while Russian and Portuguese are helpful. However, if you just want to learn a language just for fun, then Spanish is most useful if you live in the U.S. and Brazil, and French if you live in Canada and Europe. Buena suerte con el estudio de lenguas. Ciao, Ciao.

Answer 5

In US it is not at all popular. But I have heard it is taught in many schools and there are as much as 2 million people who can talk that. It is a language which is founded in 1870 and still it has not gained wide popularity. Hence I don't think that this will be popular in another 100 years. So according to me there is no use in studying it unless you are a linguist or you have plans on doing research on native languages and constructed languages.

Answer 6

Since I live in Mexico I find "Spanglish" most useful. As I understand esperanto is only popular among linguists not otherwise practical.

Answer 7

Yes,it is the same thing as in USA but there will be US of Europe with the official language it will be ESPERANTO.

Answer 8

since it' not widely accepted as the international language i would say no....unless you plan on going somewhere that it is commonly used...(which would be where exactly????)

Answer 9

I don't believe so. Unless you have this thing about being an outlier.
