  1. I should do something more productive with my time than learn Esperanto all over again. Something like... draw more ponies. Yes. That's what I'll do.

      1. @delc17 Esperanto is the most widely spoken construced international auxiliary language in the world. It was created by Ludwig Lazarus Zamenhof in 1887.

      1. @puzzlemint Nobody really speaks that though... and it looks confusing as hell. xD Even though I'm really into all types languages.

        1. @droplet Lojban is actually astonishingly easy once you get the hang of it. The problem is, unless you become a dedicated lojbanist you'll never have the opportunity to practice it.

          1. @puzzlemint So I take it you understand/speak Lojban?

            1. @droplet I did a pretty good job of teaching myself a reasonable amount. Then never got the opportunity to use it, and while I still remember the basic rules, I've since forgotten most of the specifics. || The same is true of just about every non-English language I've encountered, actually. I have a natural aptitude for every language ever, but I never get the opportunity to use anything but English, so eventually it all just dribbles out my ears.

              1. @puzzlemint Actually, that's my problem as well. I teach myself some amount of a language, but having no one to speak it with, I just stop. xD Nobody I ask ever wants to learn them with me, or when they do, they quit.

    5. @rainbowflash Russian is my mother language even though I don't know it THAT well. Also I've taken Chinese lessons before. xD I just find it funny how you mentioned both of those first, I didn't mean to brag.

    6. @rainbowflash Russian is difficult, trust me I tried. Now I'm trying to learn German.
