Easy Languages: Stories of Language Learning

20: New Languages for New Worlds: ConLangs and the Case of Esperanto

Listen Later

In this episode we introduce artificial languages: a group of languages spoken, among other places, on Avatar's Pandora, or Tolkien's Middle-Earth. But the first stop of our trip is actually in Eastern Europe, where Esperanto was created in 1887.

In the second part of the episode, we answer questions from two of our listeners, Anna and Joanna.
