The first section is in Esperanto talking about whatever I want to talk about in Esperanto.

However, the second portion is about my learning of Esperanto.

Esperanto Saluton!

Ankoraŭ mi lernas Espernato ĉiutage! Ĉiutaga ekzercoj estas tre utilaj. Mi ne skribas kun la akuzitivo tre bone ĉar mi lernis ĝin lastatempe.

Mi uzas Duolingo kaj Anki por lerni kaj praktiki.

The struggles

I don’t speak a language that has a consistent case system like Esperanto, so it’s weird to get used to. I just started learning how the case works so I don’t have much practice with it, but I am practising nonetheless.

I think honestly the worst part about learning Esperanto is typing in it. It’s god-awful for the most part because no matter what layout you choose on your desktop, you’re going to have to rely on AltGr. AltGr is not a comfortable key for me to press on my layout, making this horrendous to use. The standard Esperanto layout gets rid of the q, w, and x keys for the more common letters ŝ, ĝ, and ĉ. The [] turn into ĵ and ĥ respectively, and y turns into ŭ. Wtfuck man.

Despite this, I am actually having a very fun time learning Esperanto. Although I am not going super deep into it, and I won’t continue learning it for much longer, it’s been fun deep diving and getting more exposure to another language that aren’t the ones I’ve been more focused on these past years.

Plans moving forward with Esperanto

I am going to continue learning it until the end of this week, which is when my partner finishes her University term. Then, I am going to switch indefinitely to toki pona (finally) and spend more time working on my Tagalog, since it’s her family’s language.

Esperanto was never a long-term thing for me, but it’s been an enjoyable experience. The Esperanto discord community is really cool, the language is cool, and I recommend it to anyone who’s interested in learning a language that’s outside of the general scope :3
