After mastering Esperanto, I was thinking about learning another language( I wanna learn as many as possible, but I'm not gonna have time to learn a "natural" language). Does anyone know anything about Ido and/or Interlingua? I read a little about them. I wanna eventually learn both of them, but which one should I learn first? Or can I just learn both at the same time?

P.S Are they any other useful constructed languages?

For Flying Spaghetti Monster's sake, learn only Esperanto if you have time constraints. Definitely one can learn a natural language in a shorter period of time than what it takes to learn Esperanto AND Ido AND Interlingua.

Ido is very similar to Esperanto, so you could learn it very easily, assuming you have already learned Esperanto well.

Interlingua is in a different "family" of constructed languages. I think I would suggest learning Interlingua before Ido, if only because it will reduce the chance of confusion (that is, confusing Esperanto with Ido).

Having said that, if you already speak Esperanto, and if you learn a few basic principles and words of Ido, you will passively understand Ido with relative ease (even if you can't really speak it).

Learning Interlingua will also be more beneficial than Ido if you think you want to study other languages later. Interlingua will give you a huge advantage if you decide to study a language like Spanish or Italian later on.

I don't agree with Oijos' advice not to waste your time - it isn't a waste of time in my opinion. But don't shut the door on 'natural' languages. I think you will find that once you have your first foreign language (Esperanto? if you don't already speak one) under your belt, other languages will come easier, because you already understand some general principles of how languages work.

Interlingua is finitely better if you speak French,Spanish,or any other romance language you will understand both spoken and writen Interlingua fluently without study. Matter of Fact studying it will be a matter of reading and listening to conversations and learning alphabet. Ido seems to be Esperanto with a twist to me! See Esperanto language topic on Ido.

Besides Interlingua there are also other zonal aux langs, which combine a language family this way, for example Slovianski for the Slavic languages or Folksprak for the Germanic ones (the latter being still in construction). However it seems that the public interest in zonal aux langs is even lower than the interest in other ones.

PS: Since you are speaker of a Germanic language (probably a native one), there's a good chance, that you will understand most of Folksprak despite not having learnt it (though English is one of the tougher goals here, since the distance to the other Germanic languages is relatively high partially).

Just looked up Folksprak. It seems cool, but there's no lesson materials. I can't find them malgajo.gif.

As i said: It's still under construction. Have a look at this Wiki for some more information!

English is the only language I'm fluent in so far LOL... and barely. You seem to be right about the Ido thing though. It seems tight, but it's annoying how they say how much "better" it is than Esperanto. They look a lot alike to me, and Ido is based off it. It's like saying Afrikaans is better than Dutch. Basically, it screams "Esperanto SUX!! Ido RULEZZZ!!!!" Childish. Also, they talk about "ugly" Esp. is because of all the j's. I think it looks cool( I like js), but that's not the point. For Pete's sake, it's a language, not a painting! Georgian has a cool alphabet, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna learn it.

I forget about that part LOL. I saw it now. I hope it gets finished soon. It looks interesting! Thanks for the link!

One thing that seems similar to all languages is that learners always say: They should change that! Once the learners have mastered the "that" they like it, more or less. Ido seems to me to be a language that few rarely master to the point of just accepting it as is. So I am waiting for Idido to appear. I am also waiting for "Chinese without tones" or maybe "Icelandic without cases". There is already "Latin without inflections" - if you are looking to build your vocab in English the Latin one would be worth a shot. But I am still working on improving my Esperanto. Yes, I can communicate fairly fluently be I am always discovering new words to learn - like didelfo and prociono - two critters that I have to protect my testudoj against. (I have two turtles - Ludoviĉjo and Lidinjo - hehehe - pretty cute, no?)
