Has anyone come across the "all-Esperanto" channel, now on the web?
It has its origin from Brazil, and it seems like a site with quite a potential for growth and expanded viewership in the future. It is: http://internacia.tv/ Also, I would like to know if anyone in our forum is interested, knows, and/or practices their Esperanto? What does anyone think about the future of this language, and from those who are proficient/fluent, can it be studied at the same time with say; French or Spanish? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I do not know Esperanto, but have read much about it and find it interesting. I think it is the best candidate for a world-language based on its characteristics, as opposed to its frequency.

I will do Esperanto eventually, I don't know whether to do French or Esperanto next.
Resources such as this for a language that is as esoteric as esperanto are very valuable. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am a native english speaker and I have decided to make esperanto my first foreign language as kind of a stepping stone.

Actually, Esperanto is one of the languages with the best availability of language learning materials and almost all of them are free. Google is your friend... For example, there's a free Esperanto course available, which took me about 20-30 hours to complete and which is fun. At the end of the course I had a solid foundation of the language and was able to read most texts with a dictionary. The German Esperanto Foundation even provided a teacher that corrected my solutions for free; maybe they do that in other countries as well. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I have known Esperanto for 20 years, and I practice it daily, in the sense of reading and writing it, mostly on the internet. Conversational opportunities are harder to come by, because you have to make an effort to find other Esperanto speakers. I've done that, however, and I've found it very rewarding. As for the future of Esperanto....it's hard to say. Zamenhof, its creator, thought that within a generation or so it would be embraced by the world as a neutral second language. That clearly hasn't happened, and I have my doubts that it ever will. My interest in Esperanto, however, is not contingent upon that. It is a genuine international language *now*, even if it isn't *the* international language, in terms of recognition and acceptance. In some ways, Esperanto as it is offers more possibilities than it would if it became the "accepted" international language. As things currently are, wherever you go in the world there are likely to be Esperanto speakers who want to meet you and talk to you and get to know you. We Esperanto speakers share something special with each other that creates a social bond, a friendship. If you travel to Portugal, no one will want to talk with you, or share a drink with you, simply because you speak English, or Portuguese. But if you speak Esperanto, somebody *will* want to spend some time with you. For that reason, I'm more interested in the *present* of Esperanto, and if its future resembles its present, as it probably will, that's not a bad thing at all. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I havde checked the link, but it is not a TV station - just a homepage with the .tv ending (Tuvalu)

It used to be, but it closed in 2006.
Googling brought up esperanto-tv.com, but I'd not heard of it. In more mainstream use, there's the verda filmejo and dotsub, though the latter is more reminiscent of youtube and of more mixed quality. 1 person has voted this message useful |
