I learned Esperanto 10 years ago and started to dubble movie a few years after. It sound almost impossible to follow the pace.

But nowadays, it's a totally different situation because I found a way to use Esperanto everyday.

Watch http://brila-aktivulo.com Will you be able to follow the pace ?
Find a way to use the language and get fun.

I spent much more time learning Spanish than I have Esperanto, but listening to Esperanto radio (Muzaiko) I can follow the conversations >90% or so. I could never do that with Spanish.
I also watched a video lecture on astronomy on some Esperanto University website that I was surprised to be able to follow almost 100%. I think that for me listening to Esperanto audio books and music in my car has helped me to understand spoken Esperanto. It also helps to have a large vocabulary so that you don't lose comprehension due to unknown words. I think the astronomy lecture was easier for me because many of the terms are cognates with English.

I have no problem understanding Esperanto because I've been speaking it for decades! But right at the beginning, when I first went to youth meetings, I was too shy to speak myself, but I never had any problem understanding. It's such a clear and simple language, it doesn't take long to learn to understand what people are saying. Of course, it helps if they speak clearly!

I find it easiest to follow Esperanto when it is spoken by other native English speakers. It's a bit tougher when I listen to speakers of other languages. After English speakers, the easiest to follow for me are speakers of Germanic or Slavic languages, then Romance language speakers. Speakers of Asian languages I find the hardest to understand. Do any of you find it much easier to understand speakers of your native language as opposed to others when they speak Esperanto?

Can you follow native speakers of Esperanto ?

I had a strange feeling a year ago when we went to Germany to buy books and DVD for my daughters. The eldest was with me (14 years old).
We took the occasion to go to Zamenhof Party as it was on 15th December but she found it a bit hard. Almost anybody could understand her as she is used to talk so fast in Esperanto.

That is why I posted this message. A few person already told me that I talk too fast in this serie of videos. http://brila-aktivulo.com
Have fun, it is about Esperanto promotion.

It happens to me in all languagues that I learn. I learn Esperanto, Spanish and English. I can comunicate in those three, English is my worse so far, but I will improve it.

Esperanto is really easier to understand than others languagues, it is good to listen Esperanto Radios, and use skype, hang out or http://retbabilejo.net/ ot practice with foreing people.

Mustelvulpo:Speakers of Asian languages I find the hardest to understand.
Yes, the same happens to me.

Mustelvulpo:Do any of you find it much easier to understand speakers of your native language as opposed to others when they speak Esperanto?
Yes, I understand much better the Spaniards or the Latin Americans when they speak Esperanto.

Amike.

Nul besoin de parler si vite (No need to speak so fast).
Esperanto is not the mother tongue of any of us. For consideration for others, I think we should talk more calmly.

Tamen, mi perfekte komprenas vin (however, I understand you perfectly).

Amike.

I really don't see what the problem is, you're speaking at a comfortable and relaxed pace in that video, in my opinion. I had no trouble understanding whatsoever.

In fact, it's rather painful listening to people speaking Esperanto super slowly with every sound over-emphasized and spaces between all the words. It's not natural speech. Just like any language, Esperanto should be spoken naturally. Yes, if you know you're speaking to Esperanto beginners, you can speak slowly and use simpler words, but clearly this video is not intended for that audience anyway.

Live and speak the language freely! ridulo.gif
