Not sure if you're being ironic now?
What is the audience for this?
Interesting, especially the simplified grammar.
English is piss easy to learn m8.Adorno said:The hope with Esperanto was to avoid attempts for each country to make their language dominant,
and instead all people of the world would need only to learn one language.
English is getting close to universal, but its dominance is constantly being challenged,
and it's no easy language to learn. Esperanto has a simple grammar without exceptions from the rule.
If I talk about the Turkish language, the ones who are very good at learning and speaking Turkish are the Japanese. I have never seen a European language origin person speaking Turkish quarter as good a Japanese person. I guess language family has a lot to do with it.Adorno said:Whether a language is easy to learn depends on your native language. It's of course easier to learn English if you're from a 'Germanic' area or exposed to it through culture/TV etc.
Objectively some languages have complex grammar. Other than that it's purely subjective.
Just learn the grammar and make yourself exposed to the language, and Bob's your uncle, you've learnt the language.

They're a dime a dozen, so don't cry wolf or you'll be back to square one.
Romance language here, and English is still pretty easy. It doesn't have word genders, verbs don't vary wildly in conjugation.Adorno said:Whether a language is easy to learn depends on your native language.

The thing is I only liked the result of two within the scribbles I made. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. It is also funny you mentioned Chinese, because one of the letters I come up with looks a little bit like this Japanese letter (火).jacobhinds said:You've got to do several iterations of it. The first few tries always look like wingdings and they're nearly impossible to write quickly with, but you can work with those and try and simplify them down to a believable scribble. After all that's where Chinese comes from, and it's actually just as easy to "scrawl" with that as it is with arabic or latin.
Why? I'm just curious why you'd take notes in such a, huh, language.Amontadillo said:I've made a fairly legible/usable runic script in the past. Still use it to take notes on occasion.
jacobhinds said:Yeah, I always wondered about that. I can pick out individual letters though and they look hella long.
