As a native English speaker who has always hated how pointlessly complex of a language English is, Esperanto is amazing. I'm having issues not emphasizing words like Spanish words, and the C, H, and J families always confuse me. Still, I think I'll try to learn Esperanto just for the fun of it.
I'm a native German speaker, and even as such I can just admit how pointless that language regularly is. French is almost the same with all those exceptions. But English is in my opinion just one of the least confusing natural languages...
Man, if Esperanto did became the global language in the future, if archeologists found the notebook I right Esperanto notes in, they'd probably think I was some kindergartener just learning to read and write.

Gotta love Esperanto. The accents all make so much sense and are all incredibly useful. I feel like so many languages accents are pretty pointless (such as German's umlaut) or have none at all when needed (like English).
German umlauts make german a phonetic language (with no exception). English has no accents and so many different sounds that it is absolutely not a phonetic language (it's even worse than french).
This video is wonderful, you've earned a subscriber. I'm new to Esperanto, having only just discovered it today. My three children and I are learning together, as a foundation for future language learning. Unfortunately, I can't yet do the alveolar trill, so I sound a bit like a pirate learning Esperanto.
Saluton al C^iuj! C^evalo sounds like caballos in spanish Domo sounds like domo in russian and tomo in toki pona... The word from french English spanish italian i can understand.. If the word end with "O" that's a noun and some word can change to verb Like amas(love verb) amo(love noun) And milk is lakto(lactose) makes sense.
Do you learn Esperanto? A habitude has great power, however. In Polish "he is" is "(On) jest". I've just recently noticed I do not pronounce t in this phrase :D At least sometimes. I wasn't awoken to it before.
You're thinking about it too much. If you have to think about it, use the example another commentor mentioned, the American pronunciation of the letter *T* in "water." Hardly any Americans actually say *T* in "water," but rather roll it into a *D*. Think of rolling that *D* sound in your mouth, or if that is confusing, extend that *D* sound. I've found that pushing your tongue in the usual *D* spot just behind your teeth helps. You need to push air between your tongue and the roof of your mouth, which causes the "vibration" effect. Air is trying to escape at a steady rate, and your tongue should be trying to stop the air from escaping, and the rolled *R* sound is the result of this. The rolled *R* sound is less of an *R* and more of a repetitive *D*. By thinking of it as *D* and not *R*, it'll help you understand the sound itself a little better, and help you on your way to pronouncing it correctly.
mi lengua materna es el español, and I learned perfect English at school I don't like languages, but all my books and scientistic notes will be written in Esperanto to show how I want to share with everyone my notes and ideas.
I'm Italian,and the pronunciation is very easy for me.And there are also many words that are similar to italian(mano,ĉielo...).I study also English and German(and I have studied French),and my experience is so useful to understand many words(for example hundo is similar to Hund in German,and ĉevalo is similar to cheval in French)
I've had realized that "cielo, ĉielo" one that's really interesting since I study English and Italian, studio italiano ma ancora non parlo molto bene... tra l'altro sono brasiliano
I'm Ukrainian with Polish-German mixture,who has been learning foreign languages for the whole life. It seems to me that Esperanto is easy for completely everyone)
That's the point and why the Polish Doctor created it...So, everyone can speak with each other. Not only that, it helps build vocabulary, grammar and diverse into other languages.
@@skipfuego6339 I think a study showed that if you spent 2 years learning this, then 3 years learning something like Spanish you would be more competent in Spanish than someone who had just been learning Spanish for 5 years

No hablo bien inglés, pero estupendo el vídeo, me he encontrado datos curiosos del esperanto. Yo hace 3 meses he estado practicando y todavía me falta aprender. Muchas gracias por el vídeo. Thanks you, brother.
Reading and writing is exactly similar with my language. It seems so exciting to learn it but the fact that your chance of seeing someone speaks it so low and doesn't seem like it will get somewhere global so i will keep learning german..

@@ValkyRiver Humorously enough, _el domo_ is valid in Esperanto, as _el_ means something like "from" or "made of". So one could feasibly see _el la domo,_ which is a bit uncomfortable to me.
As person who loves languages and loves learning them I’m so upset that I had never heard of this language before. ITS SO FUCKING EASY TO LEARN!!! Take it from the person who knows German, Spanish, French, English, and a substantial amount of Latin. I’m definitely gonna add Esperanto to my list

It was fantastic.. After a long time I listened to Esperanto again....when I was 13 l learned it by myself ...I was a lover of it ...but... Now I'm 51 l enjoed a lot ...thanks...❤️❤️❤️
Dude this is SO easy as a finn. The pronunciation is almost identical, we learn Swedish in school and there's a lot of similar words and we learn English from 9 years old.
+Terry Madeley If you're watching youtube on a personal computer, then you're able to change the speed at which the video plays. Hopefully that will help.
The Esperanto is not o as in "so" but rather open as in "sore", though o more as in "love" (central US) is also acceptable since the lips for any vowel can be either tense or relaxed depending on your choice. The short o-sound can be closer as in OK, but mostly before another vowel to distinguish it better, as in metroo (metro). Closed long English O with a w-vanish as in so or sow is rather written oŭ, though the combination oŭ is practically used only for transcribing proper names : Glenn Gould = Glen' Goŭld' or Gleno Goŭldo. Likewise e is generally open as in bet or bear but the lips can be relaxed, more as in behind or kitten. Likewise you may pronounce u tense as in oo in food, rule or relaxed as in crook, put, and likewise i tense as in machine or lip-relaxed as in chin.
i speak spanish arabic and french (including english)and to be honest in french rice is riz and in esperanto its rizo i think it a bit familiar to french and spanish. Thats my opinion
If I had to criticize this language, it would be for keeping some of the things I hate about English, namely: - I/l/1 and o/0/O having the same shapes - m and n both existing when so similar in sound - r existing (difficult for lots of asian speakers to pronounce, and although I'm not asian and although its the first letter of my name, I can't pronounce it very well. Although a rolled r is a bit easier kinda to say than r as in raw. (which might be spoken as waw instead of raw for some) - hatted letters - how am I going to type that on a keyboard easily??? They make the sounds easy to remember from the letter the hat is on, but it makes it hard to type (or for a computer to display) - probably a couple more which I forgot for now Despite these issues, I will continue to try to learn it, hopefully to a decent degree because I like the idea of a universal, easy to learn language. Hopefully it doesn't have all the other issues of English in it like inconsistent spelling rules and pedantic ridiculous grammar rules.
The A in esperanto is like Swedish pronoucnination of A (Idk how to spell pronoucnncnncc) and E sounds like the swedish letter Ä lol...havent come firther in the video so may be even more similarities idk haha Edit: lots of similarities! Aj and ej sounds exactly like we swedes would say it, aj means ouch and ej is like "Ey you" and the other uj etc were kinda same lol

@@ValkyRiver Humorously enough, _el domo_ is valid in Esperanto, as _el_ means something like "from" or "made of". So one could feasibly see _el la domo,_ which is a bit uncomfortable to me.
Thank you for making this video. I appreciate it very much and keep up the good work!
As person who loves languages and loves learning them I’m so upset that I had never heard of this language before. ITS SO FUCKING EASY TO LEARN!!! Take it from the person who knows German, Spanish, French, English, and a substantial amount of Latin. I’m definitely gonna add Esperanto to my list
As a Brazilian, this is really easy for me!
Saluton! Mi nomiĝu Vuksio. Tiuj ĉi filmetoj komencis mian eklernadon je Esperanto. Dankon pro tio! Dumlongis ĝis mi spektis tiojn denove antaŭ ol mi komentas nun.
It was fantastic..
After a long time I listened to Esperanto again....when I was 13 l learned it by myself ...I was a lover of it ...but...
Now I'm 51 l enjoed a lot ...thanks...❤️❤️❤️
Dude this is SO easy as a finn. The pronunciation is almost identical, we learn Swedish in school and there's a lot of similar words and we learn English from 9 years old.
Ŭ! That was really informative!
Ayyyy Esperanto clique xD |-/
Haha going great until 6:53! Practice makes perfect!
Did he pronounce it wrong? He went so fast, I couldn't tel and being new to it, I wouldn't know if he had! lol
No I meant *I* was going well until then - I couldn't keep up at all!
+Terry Madeley If you're watching youtube on a personal computer, then you're able to change the speed at which the video plays. Hopefully that will help.
Terry Madeley p
it took me ages on every part but that was the easiest for me
:S sciis is incredibly difficult for me to pronounce. I hope words like that aren't common.
Words with the "sc" combination aren't extremely common, but they aren't rare either. Practice makes perfect! :)
Dankon multe! Mi ŝatas Espranto, ĝi estas tre bela! Mi estas rumana kaj la prononco estas tre facila
I'm French so this is easy
+Latifa Dodak Awesome!
Good! That was the point of this language
in my opinion as the rules and pronouncation it is really similar to Turkish, and as in words I find it similar to Spanish and English!
And in grammar it is like Chinese. That is why it is international.
Turkish is an agglutinate language, and Esperanto is, too.
The Esperanto is not o as in "so" but rather open as in "sore", though o more as in "love" (central US) is also acceptable since the lips for any vowel can be either tense or relaxed depending on your choice. The short o-sound can be closer as in OK, but mostly before another vowel to distinguish it better, as in metroo (metro). Closed long English O with a w-vanish as in so or sow is rather written oŭ, though the combination oŭ is practically used only for transcribing proper names : Glenn Gould = Glen' Goŭld' or Gleno Goŭldo. Likewise e is generally open as in bet or bear but the lips can be relaxed, more as in behind or kitten. Likewise you may pronounce u tense as in oo in food, rule or relaxed as in crook, put, and likewise i tense as in machine or lip-relaxed as in chin.

هذا هو حرف الخاء (خ) في اللغة العربية
This is the letter "خ" in Arabic.
H^ is pronounced like the “ch” in “Bach”
UPDATE: H^ is pronounced [x] in the IPA (voiceless velar fricative)
Ooo, that actually helped me to pronounce the “h^”
It is easy if you speak Spanish, English and Italian
my friend liked speaking this language, now i know. thx
The h sound with accent is Good for me I'm Scottish so use it in words like loch
i speak spanish arabic and french (including english)and to be honest in french rice is riz and in esperanto its rizo i think it a bit familiar to french and spanish. Thats my opinion
Many of the letters are pronounced like they are in norwegian
This language looks like some sort of evolved Latin, with a bit of Germanic and Slavic influence
idk but i think esperanto is such a beautiiiful and easssy language!!great keep going!!!👏💪
Idk, mas eu acho que o esperanto é uma linguagem tão bonita e agradável
If I had to criticize this language, it would be for keeping some of the things I hate about English, namely:
- I/l/1 and o/0/O having the same shapes
- m and n both existing when so similar in sound
- r existing (difficult for lots of asian speakers to pronounce, and although I'm not asian and although its the first letter of my name, I can't pronounce it very well. Although a rolled r is a bit easier kinda to say than r as in raw. (which might be spoken as waw instead of raw for some)
- hatted letters - how am I going to type that on a keyboard easily??? They make the sounds easy to remember from the letter the hat is on, but it makes it hard to type (or for a computer to display)
- probably a couple more which I forgot for now
Despite these issues, I will continue to try to learn it, hopefully to a decent degree because I like the idea of a universal, easy to learn language. Hopefully it doesn't have all the other issues of English in it like inconsistent spelling rules and pedantic ridiculous grammar rules.
I am Hungarian... all letters are very easy for me😀
I'm not a native English speaker (I'm Turkish) but I think Esperanto is way harder than English :DD
Please recommend the best English - Esperanto dictionary. Thank you.
The best English-Esperanto dictionary is the one at lernu.net

i realised that some words of Espreanto are very similar to some german words.
At 6:51, upper-case i and lower-case L look identical, as in "Ili" (ili). I'd use a font that writes each letter differently.
I find it really hard to pronounce words that start with sc like scias
Think about some liSTS.
I'm Georgian and pronunciation is soooooo easy for me
Anyone 2020?
2024 BABY
i can confirm this is just like the basic turkish
I think I can learn it
2:10 Russians: That’s our sound
Very well presented lesson. Congratulations.
Good introduction
I enjoyed it.
Learning dis jus to hit on a bih💯
Thank you so much, it very help me, I'm French and some words are really similar in French but it still difficult...:)
PLEASE COME BACK - 2023
I’m in the preliminary stages of a “mega project” for this channel. ;) Hopefully I’ll get back to posting more lessons by the end of this year.
The A in esperanto is like Swedish pronoucnination of A (Idk how to spell pronoucnncnncc) and E sounds like the swedish letter Ä lol...havent come firther in the video so may be even more similarities idk haha
Edit: lots of similarities! Aj and ej sounds exactly like we swedes would say it, aj means ouch and ej is like "Ey you" and the other uj etc were kinda same lol
There is so many lenguages that pronounces A like this
That's the point, that's how it is in most languages, there is no special connection with swedish
Mi estas infano!
Kiel ni ĉiuj.
