Language Teachers & Learners - Interlingua Exhibition in Germany is Online



I was emailed about the Interlingua exhibition in Germany. 23-26 November 2022. They have stands from language schools, Esperanto, all sorts of people. Linking up with them led me to other places, such as Interlinguo on Facebook and Esperanto on Facebook.

Esperanto or Interlingua

I found Esperanto first. The idea is that it follows rules.

Interlingua 

The idea is that it takes words which are already common in many languages so it is immediately understood if you know a romance language. No diacritics (those little tags and hats and dots on letters).

In theory diacritics like punctuation are designed to help you, with pronunciation. I find them easy in French, but scary and confusing in Swedish and Chinese (Mandarin). They should help speed you up in reading and saying a work. However, I find that they slow me down.
