1.Hey, what's up guys welcome to Fingtam languages
2.Today We're gonna talk about something that I get questioned about all the time Now before we get started, I know I'm gonna get a ton of hate for making this video So if you think I'm being ridiculous for learning Esperanto Feel free to leave me some hate down in the comment section below
3.You will not change my mind Esperanto is a constructed language that was developed in the 1800s And this video is gonna be three reasons why I'm learning Esperanto and why I think you should too
4.My first reason for learning Esperanto Is that it will help you learn future languages
5.I'm gonna start this one off with a blanket Esperanto is so much easier Than any other language except for maybe Toki Pona The grammar rules in Esperanto are just very easy to follow and there are no irregularities have been studying this for many years and the results are clear one study found that if you study Esperanto for only 20 hours (Which if you're a nerd like me you can do that in a week.) If you learn Esperanto for only 20 hours You'll learn as much language as if you were learning Spanish French Italian or German for 100 hours you would be learning five times as much Esperanto per hour Than if you were learning these other languages
