I thought Esperanto was officially declared dead a couple years ago. Nice to see that there's some attempt at a resurgance. One of my college friends decided he wanted to learn Esperanto at one point. He would excitedly tell us things about it, particularly those aspects of grammar that made it much easier to learn.
He got as far as constructing one sentence before he quit. He was a lot better at Fortran, APL, and Assembler.
Myoi bonoi granoi domoi is about as close as I can come to rendering it.
What does it mean? "I am many big good houses."
I also once knew someone who collected "Please pass me that squirrel sandwich" in different languages. I lost that friend as a consequence of a divorce. Not my own. I was a friend of the guy that ended up with the wife.
(I've vaguely thought about learning at least one Native American Language, and dabbled at Ancient Greek, but self-study of a language is not the easiest thing.)
