redserpent4 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 hmm wasn't esperanto originally designed to become the universal language on the planet? hence the combination of aspects from many existing languages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knives669 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 What's the point in learning esperanto if you're never going to be able to read "N'Gasta! Kvata! Kvakis!"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A similar arguement for the learnng of Latin. It supposedly a good base language. I don't buy t, but supposedly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapical Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 My dad learned that in the 50s. As for a true universal language, like it or not, thanks to british colonies and the economic superpower of the United States, English is the accepted international language. Its taught in nearly all Chinese/Japanese schools and most of South America and it's the official language on aviation. In fact last week on a vacation in Columbia I was in a conversation with a Serbian, a Italian, and Columbian and they all spoke english to each other yet none of them are native english speakers...

It's amazing. I went to Paris last year, and being able to speak and understand a fair amount of french, was able to relay the order of my families dinner to a french waiter. That went without difficulties, and then a spanish couple walked in (I speak a bit of spanish too), and when they went to order, realising their french inadequacies, both the waiter and the spanish couple reverted to english in an attempt to meet in common ground. I was astounded that two groups from different countries would speak in a language which neither of them benfitted enitrely (they weren't particularly good at english).

Well yeah, english is accpeted as the universal language. My native language isn't english though I started to learn it since I was in senior kindergarten - and my elementary school had rules about speaking english only on classrooms and the school grounds unless we are having Philippines History or Filipino (tagalog comprehension). It's accepted as the second national language, even in the Philippines - a third world country. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
