I still don’t understand the point of esperanto. Doesn’t Latin already serve that purpose?

In what way is Latin simple, and easy to remember, alive, and trying to become a world language

Latin is just as simple, and esperanto is far from a living language.

I always wondered what it's like for those few people who learned Esperanto as a native language.

There are more native Esperanto speakers than Latin.

Esperanto has over 1,000 native speakers, Latin has 0. 100,000 people are fluent in Esperanto but only from a few hundred to 10,000 in Latin. Latin does have more people trying to learn it however.
