What is Esperanto and Why Learn It?
Chances are you’ve never heard of the constructed language called Esperanto. Created in 1887 by Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof, this “international language” was designed to be simple to learn yet capable of expressing complex ideas.
Unlike confusing ethnic languages, Esperanto has a completely regular 16-rule grammar system using word roots from multiple languages. This structure makes Esperanto far easier to master than tongues like English or Mandarin.
But easier to learn doesn’t mean limited. Works of literature, music, and academic publications around the world are produced in Esperanto. It’s a rich, expressive language spoken by thousands globally as a common secondary language.
So why should you consider learning Esperanto?
Here are some of the key benefits:
- Structured and straightforward grammar – no frustrating exceptions or complex rules to memorize. Esperanto is designed for simplicity.
- Bridges communication gaps between people of different native languages and cultures. Esperanto’s purpose is to serve as a universal second language.
- Opens the door to an established international community. Esperanto has active speakers and organizations on every continent!
- Enhances other language learning abilities. Studies show studying Esperanto first accelerates learning additional languages.
- Cognitive benefits from becoming bilingual while avoiding common second language difficulties.
- Cultural exchange and friendship. Esperantists share the common bond of a language superseding their origins.
