While I agree that people overestimate NXT , didn ' t Blair get a really good debut reaction ? Or am I misremembering ? <| sep |> And you had a dog named Echo . <| sep |> A little low effort post , my friend . <| sep |> If the lenses are preAI , you can use a 3000 or 5000 series camera or a Df . If the lenses are at AI or newer , you can mount them to any Nikon camera . Incidentally , you can mount every type of classic Nikon lens to a Canon using an adapter . <| sep |> so slow 1 ms so takes ages them to travel but still hit at end of day <| sep |> ye , I was wondering why I got 5 k FM today so fast , thanks for the info <| sep |> Alright , here are some of my counterarguments to these You can ' t put Esperanto on your resume because chances are that nobody will come to your store and speak Esperanto . The employers would rather hire somebody that speaks something like Mandarin or French . There are very few jobs that require one to speak a foreign language translator , service job in an area with many people speaking X language . , and the level most people are is not enough for these anyway . So Mandarin and French would not be any more useful than Esperanto , for that precise purpose . But I ' ve put Tennis , chess and volunteering work on my resume , does that mean I hope a potential client , colleague or employer would play a game or hire me for free ? No . That ' s not the reason to put a language or hobby on a resume . There are two good reasons to put a language on it any , including Esperanto it shows dedication and skill and it helps to figure out your personality type . I did put Espetanto on my resume , along the other 5 languages that I speak and other hobbies . It makes me stand out a lot more than I like video games , parties and taking duckface pictures in front of my bathroom mirror . One interviewer did ask what Esperanto was and such , it led to a ten minute discussion about it that I have zero doubt they remember to this day . And no , Esperanto had nothing of value for that job . You cant go on vacation to or live in Esperantoland . However , you can go to France or Italy . In other words , would you rather be able to talk to 1 % of people anywhere , or 100 % of people in a certain place ? This argument is fallacious if you learned Italian and went on vacation in Japan , would you complain no one speaks Italian there ? When you spend years learning something , you seek out opportunities to use it . This is true for any language or skill , including Esperanto . If you chose to learn Esperanto , you would seek out Esperanto speakers , and you can find some on every continent , in about 170 countries . Also , Espetanto takes about ten times less effort to learn than the next easiest language . This means in 2 months you can have a conversation , and in 6 being fluent . These are not the fastest times , they are the average . The fastest that I ' ve personnally witnessed is 6 days , from zero to being interviewed in Esperanto about that feat , edit o it is . You can ' t practice with native speakers . I know there are a couple thousand , but why not go with a couple million with another language ? You will always be learning Esperanto secondhand , so almost nobody speaks it perfectly . Out of the 1 . 5 billion people who speak English , about 1 . 1 billion speak it as a second language . Are you telling me none of these people can teach English or be considered worth talking to to better one ' s English skills ? Also , a native from Texas and one from Manchester , UK speak with a very different English accent . Would you say one of them is wrong ? Which one is the correct English accent ? Esperanto was expressly created to be , and remain a second language . It was originally meant to be an auxiliary language , which means one that is used between two interlocutors with different native languages . It was created to be easy to learn , to write and to speak . Do not seek one perfect accent , as it ' s been created to allow flexibility in the way it is pronounced . Finally , the number of speakers of a language in the whole world is about the less relevant factor one should consider when they want to learn a language . There are much fewer people who speak Inuktitut than Esperanto , let alone Spanish or Mandarin . But I know people who have learnt it , because they lived in the northern regions of Canada andor wanted to better understand Inuit culture . Their number had no influence on my friend ' s will to learn it . In Mongolia , you may be better to learn either Mandarin or Russian before English . And if you are an American passionated by anime , why should you learn Spanish instead of Japanese ? If you try to learn a language you have no passion about , there could be billions of people who speak it , but none of them will prevent you from quitting for lack of motivation .
