Personally any artificial languages such as Klingon or Esperanto seem so unnecessary: why would you work on such a language and not be able to use it with any frequency?

Hmm, I'm already studying Korean & Finnish, I really wish Esperanto was harder, but I guess I'm going to move on to Vietnamese and then Mandarin.

If you are a Star Trek fan you will probably use it with great frequency, when you are watching it or when you go to conventions. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Esperanto , because to speak it you need to go to esperanto clubs, esperanto conventions,esperanto campings etc. The probability to meet an esperantophone , by chance is very low.

I've determined that I never, ever, want to learn Hungarian, even though I'd probably have an easier time with it from studying Finnish. Still, every time I compare the two, I'm just left sitting staring at my computer screen in awe of how much more complex Hungarian is. Plus there is practically no shared vocabulary, just a smattering of distant, distant cognates. In any case, whenever I see something describing Hungarian grammar, I retreat quickly back to my Finnish studies and smile because I picked such an easy language in comparison.

Like quite a few other forum members I wouldn't like to learn Esperanto because I don't think that such an artificial language will ever be widely accepted. I wouldn't want to learn a dead language, either but had to do two years of Latin at school.

That is very interesting, I feel the way you feel but towards Finnish. However, I will definitely try Finnish in the future. The only two languages I know I will never learn are French and Hebrew. 1 person has voted this message useful |
