That was very interesting. However, I would have liked to have heard the students' reasons for selecting Esperanto as a major. Some of them seemed regretful at the conference.
@@栗族唷 Oh, that's interesting. That would explain the dissatisfaction I thought I detected from some of the students in the conference scene. But how does it work, how could they be forced into studying a major? Sorry, I've no strong reason for asking this, just curious, and of course you have no obligation to enlighten me.
@@kingbolo4579 It's an optional thing when applying for colleges or universities that priors to getting you into your desired college instead of choosing majors. If you check "willing to accept major adjustment", and your score is lower than your desired major requires but enough for some other majors in that college, you will be "adjusted" to those less popular, hence requires lower score, majors.
Interesting - as an Esperanto speaker myself in the West it is pretty much impossible to do a university course in Esperanto, and the idea it is harder than other course is kind of funny (it is pretty much the easiest most regular language in the world to learn). We also have a different approach to university study - in that with certain exceptions (medicine , engineering etc) it is not the subject matter itself that is important but the ability to apply oneself, to learn effectively, to research and to marshal thoughts and arguments, to think critically and examine evidence, to produce high quality reports and to work in groups to a common goal that is important. Ancient or art history, Classics, philosophy are all as useless in the modern work place as Esperanto but that’s not the point. Can’t see anyone who didn’t actively choose to study it stick with it though.
The boy did mention that he chose Esperanto because he thought it would be easy and less competitive than other majors. The girl mentioned that she was told there would be job opportunities after graduation
I hope that Esperanto finds its place in China as it did in the past, one of my biggest reasons for getting into Esperanto was to be able to talk with people from all around the world! I hope that the language of hope stays strong and that my generation can keep the torch lit!
Mi lernis Esperanton per Duolingo en 2016, sed mi nun povas paroli gxin iomete. (So the following comments are in English) The biggest problem is that there are few chances to use Esperanto. The large-scale learning of Esperanto in China's 1980s was just to find an easier way to communicate with the West. However, westerners didn't use this language at all. After that, Esperanto soon became useless in China, and only people interested in different languages would know and learn it.
I like Esperanto, but you just can't make a living from teaching Esperanto. Here in Costa Rica there's a small group of people who can speak it, but it's difficult to get together with them and they don't seem willing to help. I study it for hobbie, but studying it as a major seems to me a waste of time.

Se Ĉinio apogus oficiale Esperanton la tuta mondo interesiĝus pri ĝi. Ĉar estas klare ke la mondo neniam lernos la ĉinan kiel internacia lingvo kaj elekti la anglan estus eraro.
Mi esperas ke la situacio pliboniĝos kaj ankaŭ malfeliĉas pri la manko da studentoj. Esperanto estas vere bela kaj bona lingvo sed ne sufiĉe disvastigita.
Laŭ mi estas iom surprize aŭdi ke la Internacia Lingvo malkreskas en Ĉinio: ĉi tio ne estas la impreso kiun mi havas de agado interreta. Eble ĝi malkreskas en la universitatoj kaj ŝtata sponsorado nur?
A very different picture from the shiny videos in Esperanto coming out of China. A story worth repeating here. There was a student from China who came to NASK one summer recently. He was studying in the US - perhaps in Chicago. Surely he was a special student - given many opportunities to learn English at home - and to study abroad. He speaks and studies in English every day, and yet, at the end of the Esperanto course, he stood up and said in Esperanto how grateful he was for an opportunity to spend a week in the US "without a language barrier" - i.e. speaking Esperanto, a language which he is apparently more comfortable in, even though he had fewer opportunities to practice it.
Tre interesa video. Mi elektis esperanton volonte kaj lernis ghin sendepende de lerneja programo. En la video, homoj spertas Esperanton kiel maljunan kaj rigidan lingvon kion ili estas devigata lerni. Mi komprenas ke tiel estas malfacile malkovri la ghojon de Esperanto. Sed mi konas ankau mian flankon kie Esperanto estis kaj estas shlosilo al la mondo kaj ties buntaj homoj kun multege da unuecaj memoroj :D.
Mi scivolas, ĉu estos ĉinaj esperantistoj ĉe la UK ĉi-aŭguste en Tanzanio. Ŝajnas al mi ke Esperanto nun estas en la evolua etapo en partoj de Afriko, kiun ĝi trapasis en Ĉinio en 1910~1940. La homa kulturo frontas drastajn ŝanĝiĝojn pro la plikompetentiĝo de robotoj, Mi ne vivos sufiĉe longe por funde observi kaj taksi tiujn ŝanĝiĝojn, sed tiuj esperantistoj, kiuj estas nun junaj, sendube rakontos pri ĝi post mia forpaso.
Correction: Zamenhof was a Russian Jew and specifically asked people to not call him Polish because he didn't want people thinking that he was pretending to be something that he wasn't.
The reason why is there are already "global" languages. Initially with French, but now with English. Why study a constructed language that brings less opportunity over naturally-developed languages that were already spread naturally around the world.

pretty sure most of them were forced to study this major because of the transfer调剂 program exists in the college application process

Mi ankaŭ nun lernas Esperanton per Duolingo!
Mi estas komencando esperantisto, kaj mi amis la dokumentarion. Dankon!
there are organized conferences in esperanto in many countries. you can wear an esperanto sign on your shirt to show you can speak it.
Suggestion for edit: I think there is no reason to hurriedly "hide" a subtitle before the time for the next one.

ĝi estas tre malfeliĉa ke esperanton estas mortante en ĉino :((
Esperanto was made for Europeans from East till West. Many words sound like latin or polish. It must be easy to learn if you are a Romanian.
Esperanto was made to be easily learned by anyone. Even if you are Chinese, like the people in the video, you can learn it with ease.
