Real anti capitalists learn Esperanto

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Nah, they'd learn Toki Pona, because it's an amazing interlanguage.

I'm no anti capitalist, but I also learned Esperanto a few years ago. But nobody really speaks it, so I switched to learning something a bit more practical (SO's native language so I'm less helpless when we visit their country).

May I ask why?

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Because it's a W language meant to foster international communication and understanding.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry for my ignorance, what's a W language??

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

W, like winner. It's internet slang. It's a winning language.

Lol, I had never heard of that before. That's awesome!

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 1 points 21 hours ago

I was like "oh a programming language you can speak now I want to learn it." 😭

Esperanton estas bona lingvo. Ĉu vi parolas Esperanton?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

Jes. Mi lernis paroli Esperanton antaŭ kelkaj jaroj. Estas amuze, sed neniu parolas ĝin.
