Qualities
that make this language marvelous
Simplicity
No diacritics, facultative accusative, few exceptions. Pronunciation is coherent. One can learn all rules of Ido in just a few hours. Imagine!
Logicality
In Ido, the core of the words are the roots. To precise the sense provided by a root, one uses universal prefixes and suffixes, just like LEGO® bricks!
Internationality
The roots are based on the English, French, Italian, Russian and Spanish languages. Result: a language intelligible by millions in all continents!
Neutrality
Ido is unbiased. Words are by default neither masculine nor feminine. Are you small? Left-handed? Elderly? It is not “bad”!
Why
you should learn Ido
Because it is easy and satisfying. Learning Ido is so easy that you will be able to use it almost immediately. In fact, learning an auxiliary language such as Ido requires only a very small portion of the time necessary to learn a natural language such as English.
Because learning an international language will help you learn and understand other languages. In fact, studies have shown that learning an auxiliary language such as Ido is an effective way to introduce one to foreign languages.
Because communicating with people of other nationalities by the means of Ido will enrich you. Learning a foreign language incites one to leave one's own cultural zone and to explore other points of view. You will think differently!
Because learning a foreign language is fun. Learning a foreign language is like a journey: you will meet new acquaintances and you will discuss about various subjects! Maybe will you even find a new friend?
