- 🧀CHEESY STORE is live! zilla.club/collections/jccbm 🧀The CHEESY STORE is finally up and running!🧀It's quite new and there's only a couple products, but we'll be adding more stuff periodically
After such a fast and flawless start, I started getting distracted and lost a lot of time. I guess after speedrunning 35 different languages, focusing is quite a difficult task. Everyone wants to learn languages fast, but Esperanto truly is made for this precise goal. Throw Spanish, Italian, English, French, German, and a tad bit of Polish in a blender, and you'll come up with the world's most popular constructed language. Duolingo behaved quite well this time, with no innuendos or frisky sentences, but it allowed me to showcase some of the wacky, funny sentences that it can teach you in other languages as well.
Also, while you're here, please remember to like and SUBSCRIBE! It's fast, easy and it helps the channel A LOT. Also, feel free to catch my streams at

Adam and Zofia were the names of two children of Zamenhof (the founder of Esperanto), thus the names appearing everywhere on duolingo
Killed in the holocast I think?
Omg that's so sweet!! May their souls rest in peace ♥
Adamo kaj Sofia laboras kune

@@SQh7 Zamenhof's entire family except for one nephew was killed in the Holocaust.
Duolingo needs to hurry up and add more languages! I need another season of this series
Yeah, I agree... This was literally a year ago and they barely added Zulu.
They need croatian ngl
they need toki pona (it will literally be the shortest course ever)
Well, they are adding Xhosa so…
(We need Serbian, Croatian, Persian, Urdu and Bengali)
I would like them to add Euskera Batua and Galician
Dankon pro subteni Esperanton...❤cetere, vi havas grandan, grandegan, talenton por lingvoj. Gratulon!!😊
Dankon!
Mi tre feliĉa vidi novojn esperantistojn! Dankon :D
You should know that the accusative is really useful in Esperanto for flexibility. However, Zamenhof, the creator, in 1894 proposed changes to Esperanto that simplified it even further. He got rid of the accusative and added simplified participles and plurality etc including changing the sounds. But it was wildly rejected by the community. He later called 1894 a "wasted year"
I fail to see the usefulness of accusative in general, I'm fine sacrificing flexibility 🤣🤣 the change seemed to make it even simpler and more accessible, but I guess people are generally opposed to change 😟
@@jccbm yeah the usefulness of the acc is debated even today amongst esperantists. I'm fine with getting rid of it too. Most of the time we don't even use it for flexibility. It's just kinda there.
lmao
@@jccbm Unlike English, but like French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Russian, Hindi, Fresian, Afrikaans, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. Esperanto does has a standing board of people who, after reviewing proposals and how often certain grammar rules are used, have the power to dictate changes in the language. Unlike some of the aforementioned languages, La Akademio de Esperanto is a lot more liberal, and will change the grammar rules. I can tell you right now though, none of those aforementioned changes will ever be re-proposed, especially after how CATASTROPHICALLY they flopped. Plus they are more focused on ensuring the language stays consistent so Esperanto doesn't go the Way of Ido or Volapuk.
@@jccbm I teach English, Esperanto, and German. I would much rather teach a sentence like the following in a sentence that marks the accusative than one that depends on word word order:
- The dog who is biting the man.
- The dog who the man is biting.
I certainly CAN explain why English word order is the way it is -- but it's a lot easier for a learner to SEE when the accusative is explicitly marked as in der Hund, der *den* Mann beißt or la hundo, kiu la viron mordas.
"Flexibility" is often brought up in Esperanto sales manuals, but the reality is that it's just more clear in complex sentences.
That powerpuff girls episode with the broccoli was stored in the deepest part of my mind. Thank you for unearthing it
The Esperanto "ŭ" can be pronounced as a mix between "u" and "w" or just simply "w"
Typing Esperanto without the ˆ even when they were right there for you to click on was a little painful. In Esperanto we do anything: ch, cx, c', but we do not substitute c for ĉ. 😅
wonder how well you remember the 30+ languages you studied
8:42 Funny, because the suffix -isto usually indicates a job, but it generally means a person who is in some way occupied with whatever comes before it
I recommend you to take a look at the list of Esperanto suffixes and affixes (which would explain the words like "vorto" and "vortaro") and also at the table of correlatives, both available on Wikipedia.
Also, the Esperanto Ŭ is a letter that sounds like /w/. Normal U is always syllabic and cannot be reduced to /w/ (even tho /w/ is a semivowel, thus it is just a very short vowel). For example, the word "Aŭstralio" is pronounced /aw.stra'li.o/, but if the Ŭ was replaced with a normal U it would be pronounced /a.u.stra'li.o/.
I'm sure that you already know all of this at this point lol
Holy moldy cheese, I think this is the shortest wait for three videos ever

maybe you should do a pool which language should be next before choosing Hebrew yourself?
It would be a great idea, but this was done last year 😁. And I did both Esperanto and Hebrew on that same day, it was the end of the original roulette.
@@jccbm too bad, I'd vote for Hebrew anyways 😄
3:06 Aborto would mean miscarriage, abortion is abortigo.
8:57 germana is German and ĝermana is Germanic: La angla estas ĝermana lingvo - English is a Germanic language.
Thanks again hehehe
So CHEESE LOVER, its time for the final battle of the language speedruns, HEBREW LANGUAGE, so after Hebrew language you will speedrun another language... ZULU LANGUAGE
Really want moroccan arabic to be added to duolingo
@valerioluizfelipe Ah that's honestly kinda sad seeing the big difference between some of the dialects, plus some locals don't quite speak standard arabic ):
i wish duolingo had toki pona
It would be an extremely short course. Perfect for a speedrun
@@jccbm yes, you could actually do the whole language in the speedrun
So the ŭ in Esperanto is used to make diphthongs with a and e (aŭ and eŭ). That's really its only purpose as far as I know
You could express "wah wah" as "ŭa ŭa"...
@@brilanto well, technically, that's just another diphthong. I might also express it using English orthography like this: ua ua.
In much the same vein, the ones in Esperanto may also be expressed as aw and ew, no?
@@m.s.5370 No, w (together with q, x, y) is not in the Esperanto alphabet, thus officially not possible.
@@m.s.5370 ŭ is one of the two possibilities to create a diphtong (being a half vocal), j being the second (half consonant, thus not creates an own syllable)
@@m.s.5370 w and x are used as substitute for the special characters, besides the "in the beginning" permitted writing with following h
Isn't there a little purple in the Spanish flag?
I've heard people say that but it's usually pink~ish. I wouldn't call it purple, even though it varies a little bit. I did learn that both El Salvador and Nicaragua have a very small rainbow in their coat of arms, so teeeechnically they have purple too.
@@jccbm I read they added purple once they were able to make it artificially, and it finally became cheap enough to have on flags.
Esperanto is very easy to learn! Esperanto estas tre facila por lerni
How does he have the Duolingo course like that?

Other than the free order of words (Mi ŝatas ruĝan vinon, Vinon ruĝan mi ŝatas, ŝatas mi ruĝan vinon are all legal), the accusative case and adjective agreement allow for things like in 16:31, "Mi ŝatas lin pli ol ŝin" is "I like him more than her" and "Mi ŝatas lin pli ol ŝi" is "I like him more than she does"
They gotta add Nepali and Bengali and maybe other sothernasian languages. I’m not biased lol
your strč prst skrz krk is better than ours in czechia🤣✌
Adam Zamenhof and Zofia (Sofia) Zamenhof were the children of the creator of the language, unsure if anyone else commented this but i'm too lazy to look. Mi ŝatas la videon cetere! bonan laboron!
Multaj dankoj! That would explain why every single exercise is about Adamo and Sofia hahaha
@@jccbm - The other thing is that in the early days of the course, the volunteers were limited to how many words they could add and names counted as words. Every different name added to the course would mean one fewer word that they could teach in the course.
They did eventually add Lidia -- Zamenhof's third child -- and a whole lot of sentences where the names are actual words like Mark, Autumn, Mr Brown, and Miss White.
How do you have access to the Duolingo's old tree instead of the new path?
This was done last year 😁

English speakers constantly say they find Spanish to be super easy and then proceed to speak with the worst accent imaginable and to make 318 grammar mistakes per sentence....
Spanish is an easy language if you want to just get your point across without worrying about correctness, but to speak correctly with a decent accent is another story. German or Dutch are much easier than spanish for english speakers for example.
I can't count how many english speakers have lived in Spain for over 30 years and can't still speak Spanish at all
Well pronunciation is a different universe hahaha. But remember English has had an insane influence from French and Latin, so it shares a lot with Spanish. Even the Foreign Service Institute ranks Spanish as easier than German for English speakers.
@@jccbm No one except english monolingual speakers regard the Foregin whatever as a realiable source. German is easier than Spanish except for cases (and they are super easy in German). Pero bueno, da igual, creed lo que queris, los hechos hablan solos, que tinguis un bon dia.
