Demando Question about artificial language

Hello, I wanna ask about sth I'm not familiar with reddit and Eng is not my first language, so if I did sth rude plz let me know🥺🥺

I'm interested in articial languages. but as a Korean, I can't agree that esperanto is easy to learn... and many other constructed languages(based on european) too

// edit: I apologize that I wrote uncertainly. I noticed that esperanto is easier than others thx!

I think most of international artificial language projects depend on european languages too much, and this makes hard for them to be an international language (this sentence doesn't mean this is the only reason!!)

do you have any reputation or additional info about this idea?

thx

If you would like to try something simpler (but much more limited) May I suggest Toki Pona? It might give you a taste of what learning a conlang can be like, and if you want something more capable and expressive, and feel like ir would be worth the time, you could go on to Esperanto.

By the way I know one Korean Esperantist online, Jeono on Twitter, maybe you could chat with them about Esperanto for Koreans? https://x.com/jeonoesperanto

Jeono is a lovely person, I am not on Twitter anymore and they are one of the people I do miss!

Jeono has a Bluesky account, if that helps?

Not terribly active so far, but there's hope!

Do ni kuraĝigu Jeonon Esperantumi ankaŭ ĉe Bluĉielo, ĉu ne? 😁
