In this controversial episode, I respond to frequent questions I've received about the constructed language Esperanto:
Is it worth learning?
What are the benefits of being able to speak it?
Will it help me learn another language?
----
*IMPORTANT*: The points given in the article and in this video are my own perspective and opinion. Hence why it is titled "Why I will never learn Esperanto" (not "Why you should never learn Esperanto").
While it may come across as offensive to some people, you're welcome to politely rebut the points I've made and attempt to prove me wrong.
I refuse to apologize for sharing my thoughts and giving my own personal reasons for not wanting to learn the language.
