Μαθαίνω ελληνικά. - I am learning Greek.

I am at the point of being able to read Greek, introduce myself, ask and respond to "how are you" and how to say "I am still learning Greek can we speak English". haha

I'm learning Esperanto because everything I do has to be esoteric. I understand the fundamentals of the language and my pronunciation is perfect i'd say. I've been learning for a few months and I can read and write basic sentences. I also want to learn Spanish (mostly to flirt) but it's hard to find the time. I'd also like to learn Indonesian, German and Afrikaans.

Edit: I'd also love to learn Polish but it's so fucking hard.

Edit 2: Oh and Finnish. I really like languages and I get excited about them.

Eh, esperanto il like the family guy Noah's ark meme, there's a mishmash of languages. Learning volapük would be esoteric

All of Volapük's speakers could fit on one bus.

I don't think it's up to date with modern tech and terminology it would be akward now

Probably not, luckily Esperanto is. I'd be curious about Interlingua however. I think it does still have a community behind it.

They kept updating esperanto and there's actual magazines in this language.

I think you could enjoy looking into toki pona.

I'm familiar with it. I have Sonja Lang's book on it.

I learned a bit of Esperanto, many years ago. It's crazy how easy it is to progress in that language, compared to natural languages.
