- Stela is one of a few thousand native speakers of Esperanto, a constructed international auxiliary language, or auxlang, created by L.L. Zamenhoff in 1887. There over a million Esperantists worldwide. Esperanto was a precursor to Ido, another auxlang.
This video of Stela Besenyei-Merger was self-recorded remotely due to COVID-19 and contributed by Gian Pablo Antonetti; she was in Budapest, Hungary, and he was near Scranton, Pennsylvania. Esperanto is a constructed international auxiliary language (auxlang), which is a variety of constructed languages (conlangs) that are intended for use in international communication. Esperanto was created by L. L. Zamenhof in 1887, and has since spread around the world as an option for communication with people who choose to learn the language - people who do so are known as Esperantists. Estimates range greatly due to the fact that anyone can start to learn the language and pick it up or put it down without consequence, but there is anywhere from 60,000 to 2,000,000 people who speak the language worldwide.
Stela is a rarity in the Esperanto community because she is a native speaker of the language - there are less than 2,000 native speakers of Esperanto worldwide. She blogs about her experiences as a native speaker at stelachiamnurkritikas.wordpre..., and she has a podcast at www.laboren.org/.

@Canal do Fishuk i typed it out by hand and published the subtitles without noticing that she said min scii not mensscii at the end
I speak interlingua (IALA).
Ezra Lua I have never heard of this! Please do a video sometime :)
@@KM-pm6qe I will. But I'd like wikitongues to request it. 😅
Leave your email if you want some information about how Interlingua is like.

It just sounds like another romance language. As a French native speaker it sounds like a mix between Italian and Spanish.
Very interesting because as an italian i see it as a hybrid between German and Spanish
(There’s definitely a Germanic touch to it)
As an Spanish native speaker this sounded incredibly similar to Italian.
Francelly Valdez LOL I’m Spanish too and to me it sounded like a mix of Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German and a little bit of Hungarian and Russian XD but to me it mostly it sounds like a a Romance language.
Ya, definitely sounds like a Romance language - it's like what one might imagine Romanian to sound like; vaguely Italian and Spanish-like with some random bits of German, Slavic and maybe Hungarian thrown in. To be clear, I have no idea what Romanian actually sounds like but if someone told me this was Romanian rather than Esperanto, I wouldn't have cause to dispute it.
Esperanto is a created international language based on romance languages with a little slave/germanic/and arabic mixed in. The intention was to make a pan european language that could be basically understood by any speaker of any of the common european languages.
I never speak this slowly, ever. :-) I am happy to see that many of you understand what I am saying. Enjoy!
Thank you for sharing! I started studying Esperanto about 5 years ago and haven't looked at it in probably two years. It was nice to hear and surprising how I could still understand. Sometimes I find myself putting Esperanto lower than the "natural" languages I've studied in my mind. This really reminds me that it is global, relevant, and living :)
please we need to hear what it sounds like when youre talking at full speed

As a Spanish speaker, it was amazing how much of this I could understand!
A am a russian esperantist, and for me it is difficult to understand this... It's so ironious, because Esperanto was created in our country
@@user-bj6cy6os9o as a spanish speaker hearing her speaking kinda sounds like russian for me
mostly for her " R's " and the " Sh " sound
As someone whose Spanish has rapidly advanced to conversational status and who has dabbled in Esperanto, I understand this almost 100% lol
@@user-bj6cy6os9o however, the structure of the sentences is really close to Russian. You often can translate Russian sentences word-by-word and get it correct, with some attention to converting some cases to prepositions. And learning the words is still easy, because of the word-building system
I am a third-language Spanish speaker, and I, too, could understand some.
My father is also a Esperanto native speaker, but he didn't speak to me in Esperanto since I was born... I'm trying to learn it now, and since I want to learn it we've decided that one day per week he will speak only Esperanto... I hope I'll be able to learn :)
Kiel via esperanton fartas nun?
@@avery-brown Mia esperanto estas pli bone, dankon! Mi konis multaj personoj, kiuj parolas esperanton, kaj mi povis paroli ankaū kun ili. La venonta jaro estas la Universala Kongreso de Esperanto en Italio (mi venas el la Italio), kaj mi iros tie!!

One day a week of immersion. Sounds like a great idea. Thank you!
@@chiaracorrado8172 how is your learning of Esperanto language going on and how was the Universal Congress of Esperanto?
I'm Portuguese, I never studied Esperanto whatsoever, and I could understand much of what she said, I'm amazed.
Many Portuguese speaking people are Esperantists, mostly Brazilians
I speak Spanish I was wondering the same. Lol. Actually it has a lot of Latin languages influence.
@@carlosdoriaespitia as russian speaker, who doesn't know any romance languages, i would assume that she speaks Spanish. Maybe there is some phonetical difference, but it is impossible to notice for me.
I speak English, Irish, French and a tiny bit of Spanish and I understood quite a bit of what she was saying

I just started to look at Duolingo's Esperanto course and scratched some grammar in Wikipedia after this video. Now after a short period of basics, I can easily follow her speech. It is a really exciting, and truly satisfying, experience.

I'm learning esperanto too
@@retrofuturepi Also I
Really impressive. Couldn’t never imagined native Esperanto speakers existed.
Thousands of them actually
Finally I'm watching somebody speaking it... If you got a grammar video it would be great that you uploaded it.
Esperanto is interesting in that it is the only conlang that has managed to create anything resembling a language community. Technically, anyone who grows up speaking a language as a primary language is considered a “native” and you can do that anywhere, but the adoption of Esperanto in some official contexts really solidifies the possibility of this occurring naturally rather than by arbitrary enforcement.
Impressive that Esperanto has that reach?
in Esperanto Land their are plenty as that lady attests but as yet there is no officially recognized Esperanto homeland or state and as such they have or are in a somewhat stateless situation. There have been a number of films made in Esperanto. One notable being one called Incubus from 1966 staring William Shatner before making a name for himself in the famous Star Trek sci-fi TV series. He is a fluent speaker as his mother was Esperanton and he spoke it at home.
For anyone considering studying this language - I spent about 2 months in 2017 studying Esperanto, and have not studied it much since. Yet, watching this video, I was able to understand about 80% of what she said without having to try too hard. So, don't be intimidated to study Esperanto! You got this!
The resources out there aren't many
There are many online resources for learning Esperanto! learn.esperanto.com/en/, as well as Duolingo's program, are just two examples.
It helps if you speak languages with a lot of shared vocabulary. Just English is already a good starting point
Omg I started in 2017 too.
@The505Guys Great point. I used Duolingo daily and a few other methods including flashcards, a "numbers game" with my brother-in-law, and used a few other miscellaneous websites with resources.
That being said, I have studied Spanish since I was a teenager, and I study German as well.
I'm an Italian native speaker, and I've learnt some other languages including Spanish. I understood almost 95% of it... Esperanto's Latin roots are definitely visible!
Or audible 😉
OMG. I started learning the language with Duolingo and Lernu like a month and a half ago and I already understood 90% of what this person said without needing subtitles! Amazing!
I have never heard this language spoken but feel like I heard words in German , French, Spanish and Portuguese. Quite an interesting language!
It's is truly hybridized, invented language.
Sounds like romanian to me tbh
It's lexicon is roughly like 75% Romance in origin (French, Italian), 20% Germanic (English, German, Yiddish), and the rest comes primarily from Slavic languages and Greek if I remember right.
Same! It is super nice!
I heard Italian/Dutch words as well
Her accent is beautiful! What i love the most about native esperanto speakers is that they speak Esperanto as L1, but with the accent derived by the local native language., and the hungarian accent is so gentle :D
SiboWoW it’s freaking gorgeous! It’s hurting my feelings that I don’t have her number and I don’t speak the language myself so I can’t ask her to dinner. 🤣😊
I agree. Hungarian accented Esperanto sounds very beautiful.
I KNEW I heard a hungarian accent somewhere!! I thought it was just me lol 🤣
Same goes for some English speakers. For example, Indian L1 English speakers pronounce some words with Indian accent.
Thats one of the cool things about espranto
Before maybe three months ago, I saved this video in my "watch later" and after three months studying Esperanto finally I can understand all stuff that she's speaking. I'm so happy
Gratulon.
Its insane that this woman is a native speaker of conlang! She's so cool!
Ha! Me too. Mi lernis ĝin ĉar miaj gepatroj uzis ĝin hejme. Ĝi vere helpas min kompreni lingvojn, kaj en la lernejo mi fakte ne lernis la anglan aŭ la svedan gramatikon, ĉar mi simple tradukis al Esperanto kaj tio donis al mi la korektan respondon.
@@amemabastet9055 Mi envias vin. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@mosamosi Oh yes. Last I heard there are at least 40 000 titles, some of which are originally in Esperanto. The Austrian National Library has a museum for planned languages, Esperanto the biggest. And they have quite a lot of books as well. Somewhere in the 1920's (IIRC) both the president of Austria and the mayor of Vienna used Esperanto. Tolkien actually knew it, as did Jules Verne and Leo Tolstoj. Tolstoj sadly decided to back down due to the Russian censorship, though, to not draw too much negative attention to Esperanto.
And then there's the music. Quite a lot of original pieces as well in Esperanto. Generally, the quality is... let's call it "varying" but I guess the best may be found at vinilkosmo.com. There are a few artists that stand out and seems to have stood the test of time. The bands that pops out of memory are Persone, Amplifiki, Teamo, Perdita Generacio for example.
Is Esperanto even a conlang? all words are taken from real languages so it's more like a simplified romance language rather than a full-fledged conlang like Klingon
@@pia_mater I mean its a constructed language, so it fits the definition. Lexically the language is fairly romance-heavy but grammatically I think its pretty distinct (I speak Spanish natively)
My aunt is an Esperantist. She is gonna love this
@@user-js8ms6pe6p And why not learning it yourself ? (kial ne studi ĝin vi mem ?) You can use Duolingo for instance, or direct method : ruclips.net/video/IZPzSIemRz4/видео.html and many others web resources

El esperanto es una lengua estéticamente hermosa y con una gramática lógica y sencilla. En pocos meses se puede tener nivel suficiente para tener conversaciones

This sounds like a combination of Slavic and Romance languages. I feel like I hear Slovenian, Italian, Spanish, Polish combined!
Because it is
@@pedrosegundo8109 But it isn't a Frankenstein idiom made up with random parts of other languages.
the inventor was polish, so that make sense :)
@Podcast - SørenCast Z Honestly? I think Portuguese speakers can understand Esperanto well. but I don't feel like it sounds like Portuguese. I think Esperanto sounds with clean and open vowels, Portuguese sounds much more nasal.
@@callisastapp7160 Zamenhof wasn't Polish at all. Please read: "Ludwik Leyzer Zamenhof (born 15 December, 1859) grew up in Białystok (today in eastern Poland), a town within the Russian Empire with a Jewish Yiddish-speaking majority and inhabited by Jews, Poles, and Belarusians, as well as smaller groups of Russians, Germans, Tatars, and Lithuanians. Zamenhof appears to have been bilingual: speaking Yiddish and Russian at home (some sources mention Polish, too). From his father, a teacher, he would also learn German and French, as well as Hebrew. In the Warsaw gymnasium, he studied the classical languages: Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic. He also had an interest in Lithuanian, Italian and Spanish. As to English, he would have learned it only later and not very well. Polish was to be the native language of his children." culture.pl/en/article/9-things-you-need-to-know-about-esperanto-its-creator
I can understand a little bit because I speak French. Kinda feels like trying to understand Italian or Spanish to me. Seems very inspired by romance languages
Really interesting history behind Esperanto, the guy who created it wanted to make an easy to learn language to make mutual understanding across national, linguistic, and ethnic lines more feasible. I think his experience growing up Jewish in a very sectarian era in central/eastern european history helped inform his vision for a more humane, connected world. I feel like if he was attempting the same project today he'd integrate more elements from world languages he lacked access to at the time, to make it more universally easy (or hard) to learn to speak. Less Eurocentric, in any case. His use case back then was understandably focused on European conflicts, but the use case has expanded since then.
@The505Guys The League of Nations actually considered making it their official language and that gave Esperanto a lot of traction. It was even taught in some US public schools before WWII.
Moi aussi, il y a certains mots que je comprends ( je suis francophone et je parle anglais, un peu d’espagnol et j’apprends l’italien ), après la déduction m’aide à me faire idée de la phrase. C’est vraiment extraordinaire ! Jusqu’à maintenant je croyais que c’était un mythe !
@The505Guys True, but the goal of making a language that's easier to learn with regular grammar, spelling, and pronunciation still stands despite the ubiquity of English.
@@Maoilios12 Slight correction, the League only ever considered recommending that member states teach it in their schools, not making it an official language. Still impressive though
Wow, I started learning Esperanto on Duolingo two weeks ago and I already understand more of this than I do Mandarin which I've been studying for longer than I care to admit.
How long with the Mandarin, boy?

Mi estas feliĉa pro tio, ke Esperanto estas tiel populara, ke eĉ ekzistas denaskaj parolantoj de ĉi tiu lingvo. Tiu ulino estas la pruvo. Mi ankaŭ feliĉas pro tio, ke ĉi tiu Jutub-filmeto havas multajn vidojn. Tio signifas, ke Esperanto iĝas pli populara ol mi pensis. Mi certe povas spekti, kiel la Esperantista komunumo kreskas.
Tio estas belega lingvo, certe.
Cetere, via akĉento estas tre belega.
I want to thank you on behalf of all Esperantists for promotion of this wonderful language. May the memory of L.L. Zamenhof not be lost.
Yours faithfully,
Olga from Poland.
I understand some of this, thanks duolingo
learn.esperanto.com
me too!
is your family ok?
How many time you studied?
As a linguist this is one of my favorite channels, I love hearing people speak different languages
I'm always amazed at the thought of native speakers of constructed languages, because to me it signals a LOT of dedication on their parents' end. I'm guessing her parents were both language nerds (not a bad thing at all!) who learned Esperanto (probably met _because_ they were both learning Esperanto), got married, and then when they had a child, spoke Esperanto around her to ensure she would speak it natively. That is quite a lot of commitment, I must say.
I’m italian, but i also speak english, german, spanish, french and understand portuguese and dutch. i find it amazing how i could understand most of what they were saying without having ever studied any esperanto. it’s truly wonderful how languages connect and interlace.
I haven't properly studied Esperanto in years, and I can still understand this! I love this channel so much
We are happy to have you here
Mee too! I'm amazed!
The plant has taken roots! Sad I don't feel able to even write in it anymore, though.
I just finished esperanto level 1 in Duolingo (only 1lession/day) and I undenstand 90% of her video... it is surprisingly efficient. I think esperanto is a very good language for communication!
As a compound bilingual (native speaker in English and Spanish) I understood almost everything and that gave me goosebumps.
I studied Esperanto on Duolingo for a while just for fun and it was extremely straightforward and not complicated at all. I was never fluent or anything but the grammar is super easy and the vocabulary is easily recognizable from Romance, Germanic and Slavic languages. If everyone ever collectively decides to have one universal language that is taught to everyone (or at least indo-european language speakers) I definitely think Esperanto should be it.
For those of you who wonder what exactly Stela is saying, I translated and added English and Dutch subtitles for you. :) I also added the Portuguese translation that Canal do Fishuk wrote here in the comments.
Turn them on in the settings of this video!
May your life be prosperous
Much obliged! The first time I listened without captions, and didn't understand anything! After seeing your comment, I turned on the Esperanto captions and was able to recognize a word here and there. When I switched to English captions it was a lot easier to "reverse engineer" and figure out which Esperanto words mean what. I have an ancient beginner's Esperanto textbook that I've never cracked, but now I'm inspired to give it a try! Thanks again!
As a Brazilian and with Portuguese as my native language, I can find many elements of the Portuguese language in Esperanto, as well, as other languages of Latin, Romanic origin.
Very interesting 👍
I've been interested in Esperanto for as long as I can remember. I think I first heard about it when I was 8 or 9 years old. This video is giving me the motivation to learn it for real. I speak a tiny bit of Spanish and understand it reasonably well. The language looks like it's relatively easy to learn because the verb conjugations are pretty straight forward.
Mi gratulas Stela-n pro sia daŭro en la movado, mi konas denaskan esperantiston kiu ne plu interesiĝis pri Esperanto kiam fariĝis plenkreskulo.
This woman was in an old video on native Esperanto speakers (really good video) and she did audio for the TY Complete Esperanto. It's really nice seeing her years later!!
I have studied Esperanto on Duolingo for a mere two months, and I understand about 75% of what she said.
Mi tre ŝatas Esperanton!
Wow! Hearing Esperanto spoken so fluently is truly inspiring!
I just picked up the language a few days ago on Duolingo, but I'm happy with my progress so far =)
I learned it on Duolingo in about 5 months, 10 minutes a day...to about B2 level fluency (easily having detailed conversations). Then discovered the world of international Esperantists on WhatsApp, Skype, Telegram, Amikumu, Reddit, EventaServo, and so many more... daily chatting took it to another level.
I just started learning Esperanto. Thanks for the video! I was happy that I understood the majority of what you said. Very encouraging!
Sounds beautiful. Never heard Esperanto before. Happy I did.
Dankon Stela por via videeto. Esperanto ne estas mia denaska lingvo sed mia kora lingvo. Sed ĝi tute same gravas en mia vivo kiel en via.

Hace unos dos años oí hablar del idioma esperanto, me interesó mucho y empecé a aprender en la aplicación de Duolingo. Me sorprendió bastante que pude entender varias frases sin la necesidad de leer los subtitulos. Aunque no soy constante en mis lecciones, me alegra muchísimo que en serio estoy aprendiendo el idioma ❤😊
Esperanto is the best.
Easy to learn, easy to speak, easy to write.
Since it's a mix of language, you can understand the other languages aswell.
It also sticks with you because it was designed to be easy, thus withstanding time and effort.
It's also fun, since it's an agglutinative language.
You can create crazy words using suffixes and preffixes. xD
It’s easy to learn to learn for EUROPEANS, it’s meant to be an international language though and it does horribly at its job
@@EEGARIt's still easier and better than the english as internacia lingvo.

Mi adoras esperanto sed mi estas komencanto kaj mi ankoraŭ ne havas fleco. Mi estas kataluno, mi parolas persekutita lingvo. Mi tre dankas vin
por povi aŭskulti la internacia lingvo. Kisoj. Saluton varman el la kor.
Ne maltrankviliĝu, amiko! La lingva diverseco ne povos morti neniam! Deziras ke la situacio de la katalunoj en Hispanio plibonigos kaj ĉiuj la hispanoj vidos sin kiel fratoj, negrave la lingvo. Ĉarmaj brakumoj el la distanco! Salutoj el Meksiko!
salutoj ankau el la barcelono kaj granda brakumo!!!
OMG I had never heard someone speak Esperanto before and it's beautiful! I'm amazed because I could understand the majority of the words. I'm Italian, fluent in English and Spanish, but I studied also German, Portuguese, Latin and ancient Greek (I noticed that "and" is "kai" like in ancient Greek LOL) at school. I love it!
If you already speak all those languages, learning Esperanto will be child's play for you. It's like a free extra language! I'll bet you could learn it in 2 months without much effort.
@@andyblair8682 How could anyone learn the entire vocabulary in 2 months? That's ridiculous!
Saluton el Brazilo, Stela! Via esperanta nivelo estas treege bona, certe danke al via denaskeco kaj ankaŭ al via senĉesa esperant-lingva agado.

She makes it sound so beautiful. I’ve never wanted to study it before. Butafter hearing her speak it and hearing how naturally it flows makes me reevaluate. I mean, she makes it sound downright sexy. Lol!
Mi scias! Sxi parolas la lingvo tiel bela. (I know. She is speaking the language so beautiful.)
Zamenhof was born on 15 December [O.S. 3 December] 1859, the son of Markus Zamenhof (27 January [O.S. 15 January] 1837 - 29 November [O.S. 16 November] 1907) and Rozalia (Sofer) Zamenhof (1839 - 1 September [O.S. 20 August] 1892), in the multi-ethnic city of Belostok in the Russian Empire (now Białystok in Poland).[8] At that time the city was in the Grodno Governorate of the Russian Empire as a result of the 1807 Treaties of Tilsit. *His parents were of Litvak Jewish descent.* This group inhabited the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania. He appears to have been natively bilingual in Yiddish and Russian.[9] His father was a teacher of German and French. From him, Zamenhof learned German, French and Hebrew. He also spoke some major languages of Białystok: Polish, Yiddish, Belarusian, and German. Polish became the native language of his children in Warsaw. In school he studied the classical languages Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic. He later learned some English, though in his own words not very well. He had an interest in Lithuanian and Italian and learned Volapük when it came out in 1880. By that point his international language project was already well developed.[10][11]
In addition to the Yiddish-speaking Jewish majority, the population of Białystok included Roman Catholic Poles and Eastern Orthodox Russians (mainly government officials), with smaller groups of Belarusians, Germans and other ethnic groups. Zamenhof was saddened and frustrated by the many quarrels among these groups. He supposed that the main reason for the hate and prejudice lay in the mutual misunderstanding caused by the lack of a common language. If such a language existed, Zamenhof postulated, it could play the role of a neutral communication tool between people of different ethnic and linguistic backgrounds.[12]
Kiralyi !!! Nagyon jo a kiejtes. Szeretnek tanulni esperanto. Spanyolul az anyanyelvem
🙉🙉🙉🙉 what a beautiful language, ooh my gosh , I wish to learn this language it's nice one,
People who wanna learn esperanto

Hello! I am from India. I am a die-hard fan of Esperanto. I believe that Esperanto should be the main language of the United Nations.
It’s shouldn’t it’s only easy to learn for European speakers not anyone else
@@EEGAR Non-european language speakers in the world learn and speak English very well, which is from indo-european language family. Currently English has most European words than ever had before, approximately 70%. So the claim that esperanto is easy only for european speakers doesn't makes any sense at all.
@sarangbsr english being an inefficient language has nothing to do with Esperanto. Esperanto is a CONSTRUCTED LANGUAGE, so there is no reason for it to be like that. It is meant to be an INTERNATIONAL auxiliary language, and if it does not optimize itself to be easy to learn INTERNATIONALLY, then it is not a good INTERNATIONAL language. The reason english has mostly european words is because it wasn't made artificially. the whole point of making an artificial language for an IAL is so that it doesn't have to be naturalistic, there is no reason why esperanto cant have words from other major language families. Its outdated, eurocentric, and racist
@@sarangbsr also just because non europeans can speak english doesnt mean it is easy or an efficient language, solving that is the whole point of making a constructed IAL, not to make a constructed language also difficult to learn. like what is even ur point
@@EEGAR
1) Almost All languages used today are outdated. Be it English, German, Spanish or Dutch etc. So "languages being outdated" doesn't make any sense.
2) Never thought that a can also be racist. I wouldn't have been surprised if u called a person racist. But man, u r calling a language racist??😆😆That a weird and ridiculous thinking.
3) 70% of English vocabulary and 88% of spanish vocabulary comes from European languages. So English and Spanish are also euro-centric languages. But does that mean we will stop speaking and learning english and spanish just because it's euro-centric and we are not europeans??
Wow this is amazing I'm just one week into learning Esperanto and can already understand what she is saying 😳
Bravo! Thanks for sharing and the best of luck!
This is awesome, and I’m a little jealous: I’ve been obsessed with Esperanto since I first heard of it, as a child growing up in the 1970s obsessed with geodesic domes, the Dymaxion map, A-frame houses, Arcosanti’s groundbreaking and construction, human rights, and utopia generally. I’ve finally been studying Esperanto using Duolingo… whose little owl mascot resembles the Esperanto flag! I wonder if Stela is part of Pasporta Servo? _Dankon, ke vi montris Esperanton!_
Stela was involved with Pasporta Servo. In fact, she was in charge of the 2017 edition of the booklet
I googled the owl colour and what I got is
"The reason the Duolingo owl is green is because green is Severin's least favorite color. The other co-founder, Luis, decided to make the mascot green just to mess with his co-founder." xD
So not related to our flag.
Native English speaker and L2 Spanish speaker here - understood practically everything. Interesting.
Default Profile Picture I’m a Native English speaker and am a proficient Spanish speaker. I’m with you. I understood maybe 20%.
Native English, High level of Spanish, ‘practically everything’ is bullshit.
I can definitely get parts and words and recognise a romance cadence in parts but generally it’s a bit of a blur.
Yeah, I think this is just because you don't know the grammar, I would try spending a week learning grammar and I'm pretty sure you'd be able to understand pretty quickly!!
@@maeannabelle they could probably do an hour of understanding the tenses, pronouns and a couple of correlatives. And their comprehension would skyrocket.
@@novikane14 yeah I agree! Don't want to risk overselling it haha. There's also a difference between written and spoken Esperanto. Listening skills may be a bit harder to acquire but written comprehension is much easier
