This may be long overdue, but we’re excited nonetheless: you can now learn Esperanto in Transparent Language Online!

They must have noticed how many people are learning Esperanto on Duolingo.

This is good. The more language programs that have Esperanto, the better. It is great exposure.

I doubt that very much, Transparent has had a blog on Esperanto for years, it was only a matter of time till they released an Esperanto version of their course.

'They must have noticed how many people are learning Esperanto on Duolingo.' ?

Sorry, Alkanadi, but it seems to be that you only see what you want to see. Lift yourself out before Esperanto pokets (vereinnahmen) you completely or pushes you into sadness of kabei-ing. Btw, I say this to keep you inside E-o community.

Perhaps they've given it a bit of an overhaul though. I'd agree that Duolingo's existence has had some influence on Esperanto learning online.

Success of social networks at the Net mainly is based on option to escape self-determined from offline loneliness into Net community togetherness. In my opinion someone should not misunderstand success of social networks at the Net (=Duolingo) like working success outside the Net. It needs lot more to bring out these members of Social networks into Face-to-Face events. Duolingo can only work like primer not like a proof of FV (I dislike to write out this words). Take it realistic.

Duolingo is not a social network in the first instance. Whether or not it leads to face-to-face interactions is not really at issue; the increase in learning numbers (Esperanto in this case) is. It seems to me that Duolingo must have accounted for at least some number of people who will eventually turn up at an Esperanto event.

With regard to the question, I'm convinced that Duolingo's success has had some effect on other online Esperanto learning resources.

For four years, we had no new faces at our Esperanto events. In the last six months, we've had eight new people rock up with high levels of Esperanto proficiency and three which have showed up semi-regularly.

What does this mean? You mean that I shouldn't be too obsessed over Esperanto? What should I lift myself out of? Don't worry, I am not an ideolog. I have a pretty balanced life.

I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Almost, 4 hundred thousand people signed up to learn Esperanto. That is amazing and it sends a message about the economic viability of producing language products for Esperanto learners.
