I am a native English speaker and recently started learning Esperanto a few weeks ago. I was inspired by a TED Talk that explained how Esperanto is an excellent first choice for those interested in acquiring multiple languages.
Due to its relative simplicity, learning Esperanto effectively prepares your brain for learning additional languages, making the process quicker and smoother.
So how many here speak different languages and what are they?
Only very basic Korean, in addition to my native English. I have studied four languages (Mandarin Chinese, Italian, German and Spanish) but I’ve forgotten pretty much all of it because I haven’t been able to use it in the real world like I can with Korean. I don’t think I’ll ever bother with learning another language. Getting my Korean up to a proper conversational level would be a big achievement so I’ll aim for that instead.
