I wish there was Duolingo for Ido. :c
@Maverynthia Ido? Why? It has most of the problems that Esperanto has: based on a handful of European languages only, arcane grammar, gendered nouns.
@Kimiko_0 Ido doesn't have gendered nouns.. That what it solved over Esperanto. As for why Ido, what else but Esperanto is there?
@Maverynthia I dunno, maybe learn a not-conlang?
English and Japanese both lack grammatically gendered nouns, have fairly simple grammar, and have non-awkward ways to remain gender-neutral. There are probably more languages with nice features.
Of course, that does leave the cultural thing, but you can't really avoid that without creating something from scratch. Which would be kinda impractical.
@Kimiko_0 I will create something from scratch! *determined*
Though I still am learning Japanese and well I kind of already know English...
@Kimiko_0 I dunno, it'd just be fun to make a new language. I know it's adding to the pot of conlangs but.... maybe...
@Maverynthia Trouble with making something from scratch is that a) how do you even start using it if no one else knows it, and b) https://xkcd.com/927/ ("Standards").
But learning new languages is still cool. It's interesting to see how languages change, like speakers of gendered languages figuring out ways to make things more neutral, or how internet speak differs from plain English.
