I wanted to know if there are any members that are able to correct writings in Esperanto.
I can do it.
Awesome. I will send you some writings when I have time.
I’m looking forward to reading them.
Haha certainly.
It would be nice if Esperanto were added to Lingq soon.
Yes it would!!!
Berta, you have the chance to speak with Steve soon about this 
It would be nice, yes, even if there are many languages I’d rather want to be available on Lingq instead of, or before Esperanto.
Vera I’m guessing he would be difficult to convince xD
Well. Berta talked with me about it. Steve don’t like Esperanto, because its not a language for a specific country. and he think its a random language with no importance. In addition we’ve got professional Esperanto teachers and tutors, whom Berta now… ( Rafael Mateos Gonzales)

sorry the post was posted twice by mistake… lol, my bad!!
He mentioned in one of his videos that he would like to offer Esperanto if we had content and tutors.
I would think that it would be popular. It’s not very challenging, but I wouldn’t say it isn’t interesting.
Certainly it would have better results than the Korean section.
I am not against Esperanto. I am not personally interested in studying Esperanto but fully respect people who do, who pursue their interest in that language.
I am sometimes put off by the ideological zeal of some proponents of Esperanto who feel that anyone who is not interested in Esperanto is somehow a retrograde or bigot.
I would love to have lots of languages at LingQ but we have to be practical. There is no point in introducing languages that are not supported with proper content. We end up having to chase for content, as we are now doing for Korean, and it is just one more thing to do and one more thing that users may complain about. “I joined LingQ to study Korean (Esperanto) and there is nothing at my level in the Library. Do something!”
Steve, I understand what you mean by “the ideological zeal of some proponents of Esperanto”. The ideological (ab)use of Esperanto is something that I couldn’t stand and it was the reason why I didn’t continue studying it, even if I am not against the language itself, which I find quite interesting anyway.
You are right, Steve: first we should have available content and then add a new language. Is there any way to motivate people to create content for new languages (e.g. Dutch, Lithuanian,… Bulgarian? lol).
Steve,
Just out of interest, is the “lack of enough content” supporting new languages the only barrier to their introduction at LingQ ?
If so, then interested parties (being aware of this) would be able to organise themselves to ensure there is sufficient content developed to support whatever language they wanted.
I had always assumed that the main obstacle to a new language at LingQ was technical, rather than content related; therefore completely out of the control of interested LingQ members and so little incentive to for them to develop suitable content.
How can we add new content if the language isn’t set up yet? I wonder.
Maybe you could add a kind of “jumble or hotchpotch” language so we can upload content there, tagging it through the accent. Being each accent a new language. Then when there is enough variety of lesson for one language you can add it officially to LingQ. Meanwhile you have “jumble or hotchpotch” Language there, with lessons in different languages and that’s not too bad either.
