  1. Did you know totalitarian regimes heavily targeted Esperanto in the 20th century?

    Hitler attacked it in Mein Kampf and shut down organizations during WWII.

    Stalin purged and persecuted Esperantists under suspicions of espionage.

    Despite intense persecution, the community survived. Languages don't stay alive for over a century unless people find deep meaning in them.

  2. W00t! So looking forward to this :D

    Thinking I'll throw in a few more tunes in my personal language... lately I've been wanting to knit together my #conlang (mazlaani) + toy cult (github.com/alexglow/aeiu/wiki) + mind-altering gadgetry (github.com/alexglow/mvtagen/wi – as seen in a couple talks last year).

    Still gotta pull together a one-liner for my set, but there'll also be a few new originals & covers, plus some shined-up Space Songs I haven't done in a while :V musician.social/@radiofreefedi

  7. What’s the biggest misconception you’ve heard about Esperanto?

    The one I hear most often: "Nobody actually speaks it."

    Reality check: It’s spoken in homes, at global events, in original literature, and across everyday friendships worldwide. Plus, it serves as a powerful strategic bridge to mastering other languages faster.

    If you’ve been on the fence about diving into Esperanto, this is your sign to start.

  8. In 1905, the first World Congress of Esperanto was held in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France.

    It proved something vital: Esperanto wasn't just a code on paper. People from entirely different linguistic backgrounds sat face-to-face and communicated fluently in real time.

  11. Most languages spread through conquest or government policy. Esperanto grew because ordinary people simply saw value in the idea and chose to participate.

    From its first publication in 1887 (Unua Libro), it expanded through letters, local clubs, and international correspondence.

    Grassroots connection at its finest.

  20. One of the coolest parts of Esperanto's design is its agglutinative structure.

    Instead of memorizing thousands of entirely new words, you combine roots, prefixes, and suffixes in predictable patterns.

    It rewards pattern recognition, giving language learners a quick win right out of the gate.

  25. Beautiful poem in Interlingua.

    "..., an international language. It extracts the common Graeco-Latin vocabulary present in today's languages.

    Here is a translation of the poem:

    The sky is a canvas
    painted only in gray
    Raindrops dance
    that haven't yet fallen

    Little by little
    the first drops come,
    slowly begins
    the percussive struggle

    Furious drums
    I hear from the roofs,
    lying drowsy
    in a disheveled bed

    The air is full
    of the scents of the earth
    and my mind of thoughts
    that spin and wander

    When rain falls,
    I whisper your name
    and behind the gray sky
    I see a light

    Leaves bend
    with heavy drops
    The earth is a mirror
    that reflects birds

    The fragrance of firs
    and of fresh grass
    fills the soft
    picturesque ground

    Clouds – the poets,
    write ethereal verses
    and winds carry them
    slowly to you

    I open the window,
    hear celestial poems
    and perhaps your voice
    from the distant forest

    But suddenly, in the distance,
    the thunder, a brilliance
    The lightning wrote
    your name to the sky

    When you return,
    summer will return
    Still in spring
    I remain abandoned

    Little by little
    the rain ends
    and I say your name:
    Kalini, Kalini"
    (...)

  37. I'm very much interested in "constructed languages".
    Beside being able to understand Esperanto, I learned about "Lingwa de Planeta (Lidepla)" only last year.

    Lidepla is constructed out of the 10-12 most spoken languges of the world, what makes it more international than Esperanto does.

    Here are some example sentences:

    "Some phrases will almost seem to be Russian:

    Yu snova dumai om sey nove filma.
    You think about this new film again.

    Some phrases may consist almost solely of Chinese words:

    Ta shwo ke ta bu yao chi yan, ta yao nangwa.
    He says that he does not want to eat mutton, he wants pumpkin.

    Some may consist of Hindi words:

    Me jan ke mata pri pi chay.
    I know that mother likes to drink tea.

    And some are of Arabic ones:

    Juma sabah me safari.
    On Friday morning I am going for a trip."

    --

    I like the considerations they made while developing the Lingwa de Planeta :)

    Their slogan: "Fo unitaa de Arda! - For the unity of the Planet!"

    Panon nian ĉiutagan donu al ni hodiaŭ.
    Kaj pardonu al ni ŝuldojn niajn, kiel ni ankaŭ pardonas al niaj ŝuldantoj.
    Ne konduku nin en tenton, sed liberigu nin de la malvera:
    Ĉar Via estas la regado, la forto, kaj la gloro eterne.
    Amen.

  40. Stop measuring your language progress by your Duolingo streak. Measure it by what you can actually DO:

    → Can you introduce yourself in Esperanto?
    → Can you read a short beginner text without a translator?
    → Can you write a simple message off the top of your head?
    → Can you follow a slow conversation?

    Focus on capability over gamified points.
