It's kind of scary. After a couple weeks of practice, I already read/write Esperanto about as well as I ever did French -- and I took 5 years of French. (Of course, all that romance language experience isn't hurting here. Neither is the Japanese, in a more abstract sense. And I'm generally a lot better at studying now than I was back then. But still. Scary.)

Isn't the idea behind Esperanto that it is hella-easy to read, write and understand because it incorporates the best of the Romance languages and turfs the rest(exceptions, irritating rules etc...)? Maybe that's the reason you're finding it easier.
