...I had a lot of free time last week.

I have a bunch of free time, and I'm not even finished after several months. But to be fair, I always slack off. Maybe I'm just trying too hard when I'm trying at all. Did you write down vocab anywhere or did you just go through the course and try to just remember whatever you learned?

[–]CyanGiraffe[S] 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I didn't write anything down, though I did keep this document in another tab to help me remember the correlatives, the thing I remember the least well. I honestly probably only retained maybe 1/2 of the vocab off the bat, but that's what the "strengthening skills" activity is for.

The first user to finish the tree when it came out last year did it in less than 2 days. She gave a video interview to Chuck Smith (who contributed to the Duolingo course) and it was surprisingly understandable! Search for it on YouTube, I'm too lazy to do it on my phone.

Edit: interview link

Yeah I think I did see that!

Bonege! Gratulon! Nun vi devas iri al la grupo Esperantujo de Telegramo por praktiki.

[–]CyanGiraffe[S] 14ポイント15ポイント  (1子コメント)

Dankon! Mi bezonas praktiki, cxar mia leksiko por parolo kaj skribajxo estas tre malbona.

How many hours would you say you put into it? Do you feel like it'll help your learning spanish? Do you have previous language learning experience?

I'm asking because I'm learning Spanish as well first language I've seriously studied, on the cusp of A2 but I've read some things about using Esperanto and similarly I could see myself enjoying a change of pace, just trying to determine if it's worth it

And congrats!!

I probably put 24-30 hours in over those 5 days. I had no previous Esperanto experience and had never even seen/heard an example of the words before. I've had about 3.5 years of formal Spanish classes (three in HS, one semester of college Spanish), and I've dabbled in attempting to learn Russian (through 1/3 of a college class that I had to drop and some self-study).

Turns out there are a good number of similarities to both languages in Esperanto. Many of the words that I knew right of the bat are cognates of either Spanish, Russian, or English words. Any word that I didn't know I would say aloud to cement it, and my boyfriend remarked how most of those are French-based. The grammar is also pretty familiar as an English native, but I feel the same about Spanish grammar.

I have recently felt as though I am plateauing in my study of Spanish, so picking up a new but similar language was a definite ego booster. I'm not sure how much Esperanto will help moving forward in Spanish, though I've seen similar claims about Esperanto helping people pick up other languages faster. Even after this short period, I've noticed that my recall for Spanish words that are cognates with Esperanto words is much better.

Might be because of many other things, like the ego boost... but I've thought that maybe it gives a better understanding of grammar?

(I had a german teacher that went through different forms for words in accusative (and davite?), but that didn't really explain when it was used..).

The link there is to a list of observational studies done comparing Esperanto with other languages concerning usage and understanding over years of study, as well as using Esperanto to help people learn other European languages faster. I haven't read any in depth yet, but it seems to be implied that the grammar is somewhat influential on the latter's issue's conclusions.

Either way, it sure helped me understand cases that aren't ever directly addressed in native English (or non-native Spanish) education.

Gratulojn! :D

Bonvenon al Esperantujo, nova Esperantisto! Vi nun estas parto de la mojosa klubo.

That took me two months. Gratulon!

[–]JeremyJots 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Impressive! I wasn't nearly as dedicated but I did have a similar derailing of my Spanish studies by my interest in Esperanto.

If it wouldn't be too much to us would you please spend some lingots and take the Quiz and report back your score? I would be very curious. I've been doing this for a year and a half and the best I can do is 2.55.

[–]CyanGiraffe[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I can tomorrow! I accidentally misclicked and bought a quiz anyway.

Ankaŭ mi: Gratulon!

Mi lernis la francan, kiam mi komprenis, ke lerni esperanton estus pli rapide ;-)

Kial vi krokodilas se vi kompletis la Esperantan kurson???

Vi ŝajnas inteligentan, ĉu vi jam voĉparolas esperante? Eĉ Telegramo vi povas. Ni havas multajn esperantistojn, sed memoru, ne forgesu la akuzativon. Fininte esperantkurso vi povus estiĝi bonesperantisto. Pasinte du jaroj, mi eklernis ĝin, nun mi trovas ke la plej amuza parto komencas. Se vi volas paroli ĉe Skajpo, diru mi ĉar mi bezonas amikojn, kaj mi ankaŭ povas paroli hispanan kaj iomete da rusa.

Kvankam mia lerteco koncerne legajxo estas bone por komencanto, mia skribajxo estas tre malbone, kaj mia parolkapablo estas pli malbone. Mi definitive provos Telegramon, sed ne Skajpo gxis mi plibonigas. Skajpo timigas mi!

How did you do all that in five days? I'm two weeks in i'm literally just passed the second checkpoint!
