Saluta a glosa-pe.

Manuel Walderrama pa grafo:

So, it is easy to

use “matri” as a noun or adjective, but it is somewhat difficult, at lea= st for my limited mind, to use it as a verb. What would this verb mean? = “to be a mother”, “to cause someone to become mother”.

It’s about sweari= ng. The mad people use to say: “Go into your mother…xxx”

When making a = new planned language for all the people, you have to consult plenty of ethn= ic languages in advance.

I got experience in teaching Esp and I’m sure, it= isn’t an easy language. But I have found the bugs that make Esp difficult.= And I’m about to remove that bugs. The most of Esp experts declare consci= ously lying, that the language is easy. Meantime the learnars are strugglin= g and the most of they became illiterated on Esp even after several years o= f learning, and they never achieve the ability of speaking. But there are o= nly some things that should be changed to get a really easy language. In ca= se of Esp it isn’t about ambiguouness, but about use of some formatives, th= e german agglutine word system and the abuse of concizeness.

Sometimes a = language need elements that give you a supplimentary insurance against ambi= guousness. In the slavonic languages there are a lot of them (sure, too muc= h as me). So they are overassured in this meanning.

The ambiguouness is = the worst feature that obstacle the learners, and make them turn away from = that language.

The Ido language is much more better than Esp, but it’s mak= ers didn’t preserve the whole vocabulary (word roots) of Esp and this way t= hey lost the support of Esp users, and made the language practically dead. = The Ido can be learnt two times easier than Esp and is the same expressful.=

I mentioned yet, that without national vocabularies non of the planned la= nguage can spread. Even Glosa need have dictionaries translated into many l= anguages to prosper. The more in Glosa you can make ambiguous or meaningle= ss sentences, the more the learners need lots of pieces of reading like fic= tions, to get command in language.

Another thing: Has anybody already mad= e experiences with learnars on Glosa according to how successfuly they can = pick up the language errorless? Has anybody count the time that ones need a= chieve the errorless speaking ability in the language? Those above question= s can answer to the quality (concerned to the ease of learning) of a langua= ge.

Plu saluta,

Laslo
