Hello! nǐ hǎo! toki! Saluton!

I got the idea for a type of thread for language learners across Lemmygrad and Hexbear where we can chat about languages, natural or constructed! I hope that this can help reignite the language learning communities on Lemmygrad!

Here’s some questions for you beloved language learners!

  • What language(s) are you learning?
  • What inspired you to begin learning the language(s) you chose?
  • Do you have a favorite word or phrase in the language you’re learning?

Here are some links for language learners!

The Esperanto page on ProleWiki

Official Esperanto website

Official Toki Pona website

    I will go first! I just started learning Esperanto today while Toki Pona has basically taken the backseat for me. I was inspired to pick up Esperanto after learning about the socialist and internationalist history of the language, and also about the Pasporta Servo service where Esperantists around the world invite you to stay at their home to speak Esperanto and see the place they live! So far I am finding the Esperanto language to be a little silly while also having a place for some truly epic and beautiful music and poetry! My favorite phrase is “mi fartas bone” because it sounds like a frenchman saying fart ass boner, forgive me for having the humor of a child!
