Miland:Dankon! I didn't know about this. A very nice talk, and I liked the way she ended it.I assume you're referring to the "respect for language equals respect for people" quote attributed to Zamenhof. I hadn't heard this before. Does anyone know the source for his quote?

Her central thesis on the three classes of 'invented' languages deserves to be better appreciated - especially the distinction between those that are designed to allow a conversational level to be attained quickly and have a practical goal (eg Esperanto), and those that are flights of fancy, exercises in quirky imagination (eg Klingon).

(which meant a glossary was important to find things in a slightly quicker, alphabetical way - ergo a mini thesaurus!)EDIT: nevermind, she mentions this in the video!

sudanglo:How curious, I stumbled on this just recently when randomly browsing, as you did Qwertz.Yes, sometimes Youtube makes very proper recommendations. But they only can do if the video creators did add proper keywords before.
sudanglo:Yes, thank you for mention that. Right now I visited 3x European Esperanto events. The next one will be the JEFO-FESTO. Sometimes I got the feeling, that the communication atmoshpere is not that relaxed I know of other similar non-Esperanto events. Maybe its regarding the possible "fact"(?) that there are not that mass of fluent speakers across the Esperanto youth. (Its mixed mostly by age.) I believe some more entertainment especially Esperanto music could loosen up that. It already works very well like i.e. seen at this musical event. It works the way that some folks storm/flush the area in front of the stage and get dancing. There are some motivigulo out there. That's fun. (At least I see it this way). Me by myself experienced that already several times. That's some kind of group suction "pressure" I really like and which motivates me to i.e. spend money to go some Esperanto events and "batteling" of non-proper inner-EU-train and coach connections. (Which really ehm ... ĝenas/nervosigilas).

Btw. I also would like see much more discussions between Esperanto muzicans i.e. like seen here.
