UNITARIO, 571st Lesson, 2014-03-12, / Learning languages ... Asmund: I couldnt agree with you more. There are prophets like the president of the UMI, who constantly advertise in Google: How to learn a language in three days. (one weekend course). And this is just not possible. But what I am saying is this: All children learn their mothertongue in three month regadless how difficult this language is. Esperanto has a grammer that contains 600 pages. And then there are the 16 paragraphs that say nothing. Just what ending individual words may have. Even this is not true, because I have just shown that numbers for instance do not have any special ending : unu, du, tri, kwar, kwin, ses, sep, ok, naû, dek. What a stupid word is ok. or du, and naû is not better ! But the worst case scenario are the personal pronouns that have been attacked since the first day of Esperano: / I > mi / you > vi / he > li / she > gxi / we > ni / you > vi / they > ili / these pronouns ae so bad hat this would e enoug to disqalafy Espeanto rom any contest of conlang projects.
