I started speaking Esperanto to my little brother once when I was teaching him how to play a game.

Needless to say he thought it was hilarious that gibberish came out of my mouth.

I wouldn't call it fluency though that brings on that, just being used to the language - so you too can be weird and speak the wrong language (accidentally said "long ranguage"!) at the wrong time, with nought but practice lango.gif

Getting a good grasp on Esperanto will help you a lot with learning other languages (including Swedish). Your "first second language" will be the hardest of all in some respects. You have to learn how to translate meanings rather than words, and learn how a sentence goes together. Esperanto is a great tool for learning how to do this with a relatively simple base. Once you try it again with a more complicated language, you understand the building blocks more thoroughly, and things make much more sense.

RiotNrrd:I remember a few months ago when I was reading a post and, halfway through, it struck me as odd that the author had suddenly switched to Esperanto.
XDDD I had this!

Also remembering a post, searching ages for it and cannot find it- then check Esperanto language sections and there it is!!

I don't know if the OP ever got satisfactorily convinced of the importance of the '-n', but to answer something he said in his opening post:

Welsh is a language with word order Verb-Subject-Object, so they would say 'Love I you' - in which case their equivalent of the 'n' would be very important!

Actually, isn't what they say more like "Am I loving you"? ridulo.gif
