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.)

I also found two weeks of Esperanto equivalent to 5 years of a Romance language--in my case Spanish. But both my Spanish and my Esperanto are now many years neglected.
