#LanguageLearning for Building Modified Descriptions of A Kinder World?

With only one type of adverb ending for every word in this language, language learning and community building around the world is faster and easier (the word in red cut off just at the extreme right is zarflar, or adverbs, in Turkish):

Every adverb ends  in the letter “e” in Esperanto.

The only thing an English speaker has to do is think “-ly” when you see “-e”.      Simple !  And a great way to help others learn a language that can help the world become more plural, and  fewer languages will go extinct, since everyone will learn the simple common language, and continue to learn other languages for cultural and friendship related reasons, but not out of pure economic necessity.

Given the interest readers have expressed over the years, I thought I might share some of my newest language learning journey here on my blog.  Once I have found others to help with Project Do Better, I will rework my notes in French and Turkish, and then the Greek as I go back to working on it (and maybe the Hebrew, if I am asked to teach Biblical Hebrew again).

Any thoughts on how your previously learned languages help hook the new material?

More soon,

and

        Hopefully, the empathy that studying languages builds, and a little more good example via story, will help all of us learn to be more open to the needs, feelings, and happiness of others.
