Why settle for an American dialect when you could be speaking a European made international language? (esperanto12.net)

If I'd pick a global language I'd pick to return to Latin.

So do you want to learn it in 3 months or 3 decades? Tough choice.

Children pick up languages fast. Immersion is key.

Plus Latin is already taught at a lot of schools, Esperanto doesn't have this advantage.

If I had to pick a constructed language, I think Ido or Lojba would be better. Or hell, Toki Pona if you only care about fast vocab.

The reintroduction of Welsh via primary schooling in Wales has been super successful, a really good example of how quickly kids learn and I used to know some couples who had young children that could speak Welsh and they didn't and it really bugged them as they had no idea what their kids are saying. But pretty much in one or two generations of children, a very endangered language is coming back.
