 Studied #Esperanto 20 years ago and Dualingo confirmed that I have forgotten almost nothing. I'm not a big fan of EO, but I think this language should be in schools, simply because it's a great base for learning other languages. 
 Saluton, kiel vi fartas? La vetero estas tre malvarma hodiau Lol 
 I learned a bit of EO on Duolingo, it's useful as a bridge for other languages 
 Doesn't seem like it would help with something like Russian, maybe Spanish or European languages though, I could see that. 
 There was a language called Slovio. Literally Esperanto with Eastern European languages. 
 I've never heard of it, I'll give it a look out of curiosity  
 After looking at it Slovio makes sense. It seems like an easier way for even a non slav to get into slavic languages as well. Pretty cool honestly.  
 My esperanto in small time it is better than my english starting in the school
