  • Listen to C+C Music Factory's entire Ĺ“uvre while cleaning a frat house after a party

I actually took a pretty basic Esperanto online class. I didn't do too well in it, but I managed to pass. I don't really remember it at all. I think it's a cool concept, though.

I love the idea of this universal language, but when would you use it? Still, it's a neat idea.

Well, if it caught on, people whose primarily language is a "real" language could commuicate with people whose primarily language is a different "real" language, through this easy-to-learn, easy-to-speak universal second language. Unfortunately, it never caught on, so the practical applications of learning Esperanto at this point are pretty minimal. I just find it interesting.
