Congratulations! Welcome to the family! I never thought there were people with Esperanto as their native language! We want more videos! 🥳🥳

[@itsohaya4096]

There are also second generation native speakers too (children of native speakers)

[@GoLongAmerica]

The most famous native Esperanto speaker is Hungarian billionaire George Soros.

It’s cool how you can tell where someone is from by the way they speak the language (French accent, English accent, West African accent, German accent, etc.) but since there’s no specific accent in which to speak it, at the same time nobody has an accent in Esperanto.😂

[@Spenchjo-janPensa]

Some Esperanto speakers have a thick accent, and some people less so but you can still hear where they're from. But there are also speakers where you can't place the accent, who don't have any of the traits typical for the country/region where they're from. These I consider "true" Esperanto accents. But even among those there is plenty of room for variation, so there is no one authentic Esperanto accent. And you definitely don't need a spotless unidentifiable accent to be a great Esperanto speaker. Having a mix of accents from all kinds of languages and regions is part of the charm, anyway. :) (Personally I have a soft spot for the Danish accent, for example)

[@wholesand]

I usually speak Esperanto in a Spanish-y accent, with rolling the r and adding emphasis randomly.

[@user-pp7gb8vy3i]

Actually Esperanto is supposed to be spoken with an Italian accent

[@TwistedMarksman]

If spoken correctly, Esperanto has no accent.

[@thato596]

Every language people talk in has an accent

[@tabularasa_br]

That's amazing! I always thought Esperanto could be featured on the channel, and since it is not a national language of any particular country, I realised it would still be possible if the video makers recorder during Esperanto events, where there are dozens of Esperanto speakers. Still can't believe my dream has come true! Kudos you folks! You're the best!

I love that one of them discovered it through an English course. ESL teachers are always going on about Esperanto

[@TerryVogelaar]

For the last 15 years of his life, my uncle lived in France. Although he was fluent in French, he remained "the foreigner" because of his Dutch accent. Likewise, my English will always be a bit quirky. I try to say: native speakers always have an unfair advantage, despite all the effort it takes to learn it. Esperanto usually takes just a quarter of the time and energy, because it is much easier to learn. I try to say: learning Esperanto feels like taking one step toward each other, instead of doing 4 steps toward someone, and still feel inadequate.

[@siloemascolo2769]

This is not true for every languages. I am Brazilian and many times I see foreigners talking in Portuguese and some I take many seconds to realise its a foreigner, specially if they are from Russia or some Slavic country. Same for a Greek speaking Spanish. For English instead I never met anyone that can speak it nearly to a native level. I took one month to learn Italian, nothing to learn Spanish, and 16 years to lean English and its still not that great.

[@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038]

That has to do with the speaker’s speaking habits and the type of mouth movements the speaker is used to make and with whether the speaker keeps the muscles involved in speaking tensed up or totally relaxed or partially tensed up etc, as these are the things that create one’s accent or accents in a foreign language! In general, the key to speaking any language accent-free is, keeping the muscles relaxed while speaking languages that use a relaxed pronunciation and imitating the exact sounds and the mouth movements that natives make, or, tensing up the muscles involved in speaking while speaking languages like English / Dutch / German etc that use a non-relaxed pronunciation and imitating the exact sounds and the mouth movements that natives make, and, knowing the words very well, so, one must also know the words well by learning each word with its pronunciation and spelling, and seeing and hearing each word multiple times over a period of time, as one must know the words very well to be able to pronounce them as a native, because one’s hern must also be very used to the new words and to the different patterns and pronunciation, so yea, it’s not easy to pronounce a new word as natives do if that word hasn’t become part of the permanent memory and automatic memory yet, not even for me, so if I don’t know the words well, it’s not easy for me to read them and to pronounce them as a native! Both Dutch and French use a non-relaxed pronunciation, but Dutch / English / Danish / German use a 100% non-relaxed pronunciation, while French uses more like a 74.1% non-relaxed pronunciation, so it’s not as non-relaxed as Dutch pronunciation, so, when speaking French, the muscles involved in speaking are tensed up, but not tensed up to the maximum like they are when speaking Dutch and English! It shouldn’t be too difficult for a native speaker of Dutch to imitate French sounds and pronunciation tho, because French pronunciation is based on German pronunciation, and German is very close to Dutch, plus Dutch has many French words and even certain French sounds, so they are quite close, so it’s all about learning the words well and imitating the exact sounds and mouth movements that natives make, as speaking foreign languages accent-free is all about developing new speaking habits and getting used to new speaking patterns and new sounds and imitating what one hears, while making the mouth movements that natives make! There are certain languages that use a non-relaxed type of pronunciation such as English / Dutch / German / Danish / Welsh / Breton / French / Brazilian Portuguese etc, which means that the muscles involved in speaking are tensed up while speaking English and the other 7 aforementioned languages, while most other languages use a normal or relaxed type of pronunciation, where the muscles involved in speaking are kept completely relaxed, so, if one whose first language is English etc tries to speak a language that uses a relaxed pronunciation without consciously remembering to relax the muscles involved in speaking and to not pronounce the words the American way, one is going to have that typical American accent in the new language, and this is just an example! However, only English / Dutch / German / Danish use a 100% to 90% non-relaxed pronunciation, so if one is a native speaker of Dutch or English etc and wants to speak French accent-free, one has to relax the muscles involved in speaking just a bit, but not completely, while speaking French, because French uses a non-relaxed pronunciation that isn’t 100% non-relaxed like Dutch, and one whose first language is Dutch or English naturally has the speaking habits to tense up one’s speech muscles to the maximum and to make the mouth movements one makes while speaking Dutch, so one must consciously remember not to do those things while speaking French, and to relax the speech muscles just a bit, while imitating the mouth movements and the sounds that native speakers of French make, at least until one gets used to the French speaking patterns and accent, then it will come naturally without any effort! It’s also very important to learn the words very well first, and then imitating the exact sounds and mouth movements that natives make, so, once certain new words have become part of one’s permanent memory and automatic memory or automatic mode, it’s a really good time to practice the pronunciation of those words and to imitate the exact sounds one hears!

[@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038]

To speak English as a native, one must tense up all the muscles involved in speaking to the maximum because English uses a 100% non-relaxed pronunciation, just like Dutch / German / Danish, and one must also know the words automatically, so one must have developed an automatic mode in English, where each word can be instantly processed and remembered automatically, and one must imitate the exact sounds and mouth movements that native make to get the exact American accent! I have seen on yt plenty of ppl from all countries that speak English just as natives do that are advanced level (about six thousand to eight thousand base words) in English and many of them are even native speaker level (knowing at least 10.000+ base words or 15.000+ words) and being able to comfortably use the language, just as natives do, which are probably naturally more skilled at imitating sounds and accents than most others, but technically English has one of the easiest pronunciations ever with the softest Rs etc, so it’s very easy to learn English pronunciation, so anyone is able to learn it, even tho some speakers require more practice than others! English is literally the easiest language ever created in every way, so anyone should be able to learn and use it very fast, however, this also depends on one’s learning methods! Brazilian Portuguese also uses a non-relaxed pronunciation, which is like 65% non-relaxed, a bit more relaxed than French pronunciation, however, most words in Portuguese are harder to pronounce than most English words because they have combinations of letters that aren’t as easily pronounced 2gether as the letter combinations in most English words! But in general, it should be easy for speakers of Brazilian Portuguese to speak English and for speakers of English to speak Brazilian Portuguese because both languages are category 1 languages and both use a category 1 pronunciation! Also, no one can learn any language in one month, and just understanding Spanish and Italian and being having reached a casual conversation fluency doesn’t mean that one can truly speak them fluently as natives do, one must know over 10.000 base words very well (automatically) and one must have developed an automatic mode in the new languages to be native speaker level, one just has the feeling one is fluent after one moths because the words are very similar and one can understand most of them, especially in casual conversations! It is very easy to reach native speaker level fluency in English and other super easy languages like Dutch and Norwegian in like 2 or 3 years, and this is similar for all other category 1 and category 2 pretty languages, as it normally takes one 2 or 3 to 5 years to reach native speaker level fluency in any of the pretty languages, including all Germanic languages, and usually a decade to reach writer level fluency, so it usually takes a few years to reach native speaker fluency in a pretty language or in multiple pretty languages, regardless of the language or languages! If it takes 16 years for someone to learn English or any other pretty languages, one should definitely change one’s learning techniques, and one should get more éxpòsure to the language, including actively learning many thousands of words from vocab videos and many other videos teaching the language with English subs or both English sub + subs in the native language and memorizing many lyrics etc, by constantly watching and re-watching them multiple times over a period of time, until each word can be instantly processed and automatically remembered, and watching everything with English sub once one has reached an intermediate or advanced level (knowing over 5.000 or 6.000 words) to get to a native speaker level faster, and learning lots of idioms and phrases and slang, as English has more idioms / phrases / slang and more words than any other language!

[@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038]

Technically, it takes about 16 years for someone to become fluent in the first language one is made to learn, as one naturally learns a few new words every day, in a passive way, and it can also be like that in a 2nd language, so, it could technically take one 16 years to reach a native speaker fluency in English if one is learning it passively or in a passive-like way, as in, only learning a few new words every day - however, if one is actively trying to learn the easiest category 1 languages such as English / Dutch / Norwegian etc, by memorizing many thousands of words from vocab videos as fast as possible, so, constantly watching and re-watching many vocab videos and many videos with subs, multiple times, over a period of time, and memorizing many lyrics and many idioms / phrases / slang etc, one can get to an advanced level in about 3 to 6 months, and one can get to a native speaker level in about 2 years, especially if one watches a lot of videos and movies etc with English or Dutch or Norwegian subs after reaching an advanced level!

[@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038]

Re the difficulty level of Esperanto, it is actually not as easy to memorize and read and type Esperanto words as it is to memorize and read and type English and Dutch words, as most Esperanto words aren’t as easy to learn / remember / read / spell / type etc as English / Dutch words, which is just the truth! I am learning both Esperanto and German and Portuguese, so I noticed that the word memorability of most Esperanto words is more comparable to the memorability of most German / Portuguese etc words, which usually take 6 to 8 repetitions (or more) to become part of the permanent memory, whereas most English / Dutch / Norse etc words take 3 to 5 repetitions to become part of the permanent memory, and there are even many English and Dutch words that only take one or two repetitions, so technically one cannot learn Esperanto faster than English! Esperanto isn’t as easy to learn as English, though it’s still very easy to learn, and in fact, all category 1 and category 2 languages take almost the same number of years for a learner to get to a truly fluent level, which is at least a native speaker level, but there is no denying that English is truly the easiest to use and to get used to, that one can use fluently even at an advanced level, which is why it was so easy for English to become an universal language fast, being so practical and so easy to use, and English is literally the easiest language ever created, so a language cannot even get any easier than that, as English was oversimplified to the maximum on purpose, and it has been made into a very neutral language with a very modern sound and aspect, so that it could be super easy to use by anyone and also super easy to learn with very memorable and very distinctive and very pretty words that naturally stick to one’s hern and mind, which is very easy to read and very easy to type on any keyboard as it only uses normal letters without diacritics or accents, which also makes its aspect very relaxing to the eye and very fun to use universally! So if someone cannot get the right pronunciation or cannot easily reach fluency in a few years, it’s very subjective, because it’s determined mostly by the learning methods one uses as well as the imitation skills one has etc, and many times it can also be due to not getting enough éxpòsure to the language, not using English subs when watching videos and movies in English, not listening to many songs with lyrics in English, not speaking in English enough, not using the best resources such as videos and songs, not revising the previously learnt words enough times (for them to be automatically processed) over a period of time, not learning each word with its pronunciation and spelling as languages should be learnt, and many other things like that, which can all influence how long it takes for someone to reach native speaker level fluency! When it comes to pronunciation itself, the pronunciation of languages that use relaxed pronunciation isn’t easier than the pronunciation of languages like English or Dutch which use non-relaxed pronunciation, which is one of the things that give languages such as English and Dutch etc that unique and very modern / cool sound, it’s just easier for someone to figure out how to pronounce a language that uses relaxed pronunciation, especially for someone whose first language uses a relaxed pronunciation or a semi-relaxed pronunciation, which explains why to someone whose first language is Spanish or Italian or another language that uses a relaxed pronunciation it may seem easier at first to pronounce languages that use a relaxed pronunciation, but this is also subjective, and doesn’t make non-relaxed pronunciation objectively harder than relaxed pronunciation, so it’s just a matter of figuring out how to do it and imitating the sounds and mouth movements by native speakers of English etc, until one gets it right and until one gets used to it, and then it comes naturally, so, once one figures out how to get that sound and the American accent and once one gets used to it, one can see that it’s not harder than normal relaxed pronunciation at all, it’s just a matter of being used to it vs not being used to it!

[@Professor_Silva]

Being a language major, I’ve been to congresses dedicated to the English language (Linguistics, Literature, Language Teaching…). Native English speakers were always the center of attention, the authorities whom non-native speakers try to imitate. There is no sense of community or belonging, and there is no reason for that - there is a sense of competition instead. By socializing with Esperanto speakers in congresses, I’ve realized that language can in fact determine the quality of human interaction - it could be due to a sense of cooperation, ideology and psychological factors, but it’s also technical: people speak with more equality, it's easier for everyone to reach fluency, all accents are welcome... The same relations of power are reproduced on a global scale, as linguist Claude Piron explains: scientists, artists, writers, etc. whose native language is English are much more likely to have their work recognized worldwide, even if they are quite mediocre, than a brilliant intellectual of a minor language. Even to get a job at a hotel reception, candidates who can emulate a prestigious English accent have better chances. Only by having this inside experience of how interactions are more democratic with Esperanto, we realize what humankind loses for not adopting a simple, standard and neutral language worldwide.

In 1979 I was given a grant to spend two weeks at La Pola Ora Autuno in Miedzygorce in Poland. I met teenagers from Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia, Bulgaria and Romania, and made so many friends.

I learnt Esperanto at the age of 16-17. It opened my mind to languages, it showed me how foreign languages worked and it gave me many new words which in turn made me to understand French, Italian, Spanish, German and English - then I had no problems to learn those languages, now I can speak and understand English, German, Russian, Spanish, Italian... that is the benefit of learning Esperanto at young age. No other language has this advantage. Esperanto is easy to learn, yet very powerful, much more powerful than English: just look - it took me one hour (maybe two) to learn how to read every Esperanto word, when in English people even after 4-year course can't properly read "indict" and hundreds of other words - my colleague (English teacher) told me that English spelling was regular after learning some 700-800 exceptions. I saw a heavy book with French verbs and their conjugations where in Esperanto it is enough to learn 6 endings: -i, -as, -is, -os, -us, -u. That is why Esperanto is so quick to learn (more or less).

@@IkarusKommt And you a mouse, not a human.

[@mayhair]

​@@IkarusKommt Well, following the provided "rules" (grammar) and using the proper "pieces" (vocabulary), you can construct a sentence in Esperanto that other fluent Esperanto speakers will immediately understand. Multiple speakers can do this quickly enough that they can exchange sentences describing even complex topics at a rapid pace. At least in natural languages, this is called "conversation". That's pretty language-y enough to me. It doesn't really matter if for example, there are no irregular verbs.

[@IkarusKommt]

@@mayhairYou will construct a sentence with Esperanto morphology and syntax, but with English grammar or vocabulary, as Esperanto doesn't have either of its own. The resulting sentence will be understood correctly by English speakers, more or less correctly by other Western European language speakers, but it will be confusing and uncomprehensible to everybody else. Also, to have a conversation, you need more than a language. Esperanto lacks even the phonotactics and intonation, much less the advanced topics. You can say sentences, but they won't form a human conversation.

That video made me very curious about Esperanto and Zamenhof vision. Thank you and I hope for more videos in the future!

[@claudilius_badensis]

Among me many other Esperanto speakers here are glad to help you when you start learning the language 🙂

[@Spenchjo-janPensa]

Zamenhof's story in short: He grew up in a multi-ethnic town (in modern-day Poland), where there were nearly half a dozen different ethnic groups that each spoke a different language and constantly quarreled with each other. Zamenhof figured that they didn't get along mostly because they didn't speak each other's language and couldn't talk it out. But of course they weren't going to learn each other's language for that, so ideally they should have a neutral language, one that's easy to learn, and one that everyone can learn to be on equal footing. He also saw similar conflicts caused by language barriers at an international scale. This inspired him to create Esperanto, hoping that a language that's easy to learn and not tied to any ethnicity could be an important step towards world peace and international harmony. Esperanto was meant to be a universal second language. People would continue speaking their regional languages in their own regions, and use Esperanto for international communication across ethnic and linguistic divides. It's worth noting that there are still many who believe in Zamenhof's vision, but there are also many Esperanto speakers who don't really care about the language's original goals. Most of those people believe that the international community and culture that developed around Esperanto has value in and of itself, and are more interested in that.

Ich bin zeit Jahren Fan von Easy German - und höre noch den Podcast. Ich denke ab und zu, dass es ein Easy Esperanto geben sollte. Herzlichen Glückwunsch. One thing that I would add, however, is that Easy German generally interviews model speakers of the language. When a speaker makes a mistake in German (leaving out a word, using the wrong endings, etc), they'll correct them in the subtitles. This is learning material, after all. It needs to be a good model. Tion dirite, mi ja volas laŭdi vian sukceson. Estas bonege vidi la logotipon "Easy Esperanto", kaj estas bone, ke multaj personoj aŭdas pri Esperanto dank' al vi.

Bonan tagon, Tomaso!

YESSSSS PLEASE MORE THANK YOU

[@AndreaColombo-fx1wh]

Saluton al ĉiuj el Italio!

[@tizgerard_9816]

Mi estas lingvolernanto kaj muzikisto el Napolo, Italio, kaj mi tre ŝatus renkonti kelkajn Esperanto-parolantojn 😊

[@katalin2593]

Facila afero, ni certe povas helpi al vi. Ekzemple se vi elŝutas la aplikaĵon AMIKUMU vi tuj povos trovi personojn, kiuj fizike estas proksime al vi kaj vi povas kontakti ilin. Provu!

[@stefang5639]

La Universala Kongreso kaj la Internacia Junulara Kongreso ambaŭ okazos en Italio en 2023.

[@leandrosilvestre2114]

Lovely video.

Bela filmeto! Bone farita! Kaj bone vidi vin (eĉ se nur sur la ekrano) post aǔdi kelkajn ĉarmajn rakontojn pri vi de via patrino. Sandor(Aǔstralio)

[@Leono48]

Gratulon! Tre interesa filmeto!!!

[@antonior.1015]

Mi estas el Meksiko kaj mi amis ĉi tiun videon, dankon. Mi ankaŭ pensis, ke se mi povas paroli malsamajn lingvojn, kial ne unu pli? Mi trovis pri ĉi tiu lingvo ĉe Jutubo en 2015 kaj mi volis lerni ĝin, ĝi estas mirinda!

[@destroassasin9505]

Jes, ĝi mojosas! Mi estas el Kolombio kaj mi lernis pri Esperanton en 2019, sed mi komencis lerni ĝin en 2020, Esperanto estas tre bela lingvo kaj kelpis min lerni la Francan poste!

[@IgnacioCuriel]

Saluton! Mi loĝas en Guadalajara (Gvadalaharo, per EO haha) Ĉu vi volas bonvolu helpi min praktiki mian komencanta E-on?

[@saintpoliglota]

Mi ĝojas vidi ĉi tiun filmeton, dankon pro konigo de mia plej ŝatata lingvo! Mi estas el Brazilo.

[@tylernickallen]

I fell in love with the first man speaking from France.

[@paolodominici202]

I'll say only one thing: totally unexpected🤯

[@bistosno]

Vraiment chapeau à vous deux! Mi spektis la filmeton kun granda intereso kaj inspirigxis de la respondoj. Valorus starigi la samajn demandojn dum aliaj renkontigxoj de esperantistoj. Cxu la respondoj varius laux la generacioj aux fakte ne?

[@ArcherLeon]

🔥awesome! Dankon

[@EasyCzechVideos]

This was so interesting! Can't wait to see more 💫 Congratulations and welcome to the team 💙

[@GypsieSeeker]

Love this video 😍😍😍

[@catitse2]

Mirinda video!! Mia patro parolas esperante al mi ekde kiam mi estis infanon. Mi ŝategas ĝin, kaj nun mi trovas studi aliajn ligvojn, kiel la franca kaj la germana ege pli facila ❤ dankon pro la video!!

[@francescot5012]

Hura! Mi ne povas kredi ke vi vere faros filmeton pri EO en ĉi tiu kanalo. Gratulon!

[@MrSkribanto]

Gratulon! Estas Tre interese vidi ke esperanto estas viva lingvo.

[@felipepacheco5334]

Saluton, de Brazilo!

[@MrNdabuilding]

I think it’s wild how much of what they were saying I could understand and how I could tell where some of them were from because of their vernacular pretty interesting if you ask me

[@interparoloj]

Bonega iniciato! Novajn sukcesojn al vi.

[@xferalfairyx]

Mi tre ĝuuis la filmeton kaj espereble la serio de "Easy Esperanto" daŭrigos. Mi kredas, ke ĉi tiu kanalo de "Easy Languages" havas la kapablon montri ĉi tiun belan lingvon al pli da homoj.

[@KolektodeHerkso]

Bonega filmeto! Ĝojigas min vidi ĉi tiun kanalon paroli pri Esperanto

[@TheDanieltoye]

Mi decidis lerni Esperanton ĉar miaj amikoj jam parolas aliajn "pli utilajn" lingvojn kiel la hispana kaj la germana. Eĉ se mi pasigus multajn horojn lerni tiujn lingvojn neniam mi estus tiel bona parolanto kiel ili. Do mi eklernis novan nekonatan lingvon. Krom tio mi volis pruvi al mi, ke mi ja kapablas lerni lingvon por ke mi havu memfidon pri la lernado de aliaj lingvoj estontece.

[@novikane14]

tre bona motivo. Fakte mi lernis ĝin ĉar mi tro lacis de provi lerni la hispanan kaj post kiam mia trifoja fiakso, mi decidis provi lerni esperanton. Do mi daŭre lernis esperanton pro la rapideca progreso. Kaj poste kiam mi akiris la deziratan rezultaĵon mi rekomencis lerni la hispana kaj finfine kapablas paroli ĝin.

[@claudilius_badensis]

Bonvenon en Esperantujo 🙂

[@claudilius_badensis]

@@novikane14 Via sukceso finlerni la hispanan pruvas ke Esperanto ja estas utila 😀

[@novikane14]

[@rm.makes.me.smile_]

Have you found it to be helpful in learning/understanding a higher level of what your friends say? Also, I’m not sure if you would have much info, but I’ve noticed a lot of similarities between Esperanto and Latin based languages. Is there also similarities between Esperanto and Asian languages such as Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese at least phonetically? I just discovered Esperanto, and as someone who wants to become a polyglot who speaks Latin based languages and several asian languages I’m very interested in starting to learn this!

[@nixmehun]

Belege!. Easy Languages lanĉis Easy Esperanton. Ege bone!

[@penivos]

Bone farita! Gratulon de Auxstralio!

[@T0m41_08]

Hoping to learn Esperanto (I think it’s so cool that there are native speakers of this language too)

[@deutschmitpurple2918]

Amazing video

[@caroles5396]

Mi estas komencanto kaj ĉi tiu filmeto estas tre interesa por mi. Ĝi inspiras min lerni plu. Esperanto vere estas bela, interesa kaj utila lingvo. Dankon.

[@entropie138]

One of the smartest things in Esperanto is to make the affirmative ‘Jes’ after the English ‘Yes’. Because practically everyone in the world knows what “Yes” means. Saluton el Usono!

[@RJCMaxification]

bonvolu, pli da ĉi tiaj filmetoj! :)
