 A
language
- created
to facilitate communication amongst people from different countries.
In practical use for more that a hundred years, Esperanto has proved
to be a genuinely living language, capable of expressing all facets
of human thought.
-
 International
& neutral
- Esperanto
doesn't belong to any specific country or people. It belongs equally
to everybody who speaks it, acting as a bridge between cultures.
-
 It's
easy!
- Esperanto
has simple, regular and extremely flexible structure, and a vocabulary
of international character. This makes it possible to reach fluency
much more quickly than in any other language - it's up to ten times
easier to learn, according to scietific studies.
Why
learn Esperanto?
-
 Make
friends
- all
over the world, for instance, by having penpals in distant countries
and other cultures. If you like travelling, you can take along "Pasporta
Servo" , which lists speakers of Esperanto in more than
70 countries. They are interested in accomodating you, free of charge
and might
also show you a bit of their town or country.
-
 Go
to meetings
-
along with other Esperanto-speakers: in your own town or country,
or internationally. The meetings such as the World Conbgress of
Esperanto, the International Youth Congress and other international
youth meetings take place in different countries every year and
offer a fantastic experience for the thousands of people who participate.
-
 Learn
about other cultures
- through
a truly international medium. Esperanto has a vast literature, both
translated and original on countless subjects, and there are also
many periodicals and regular radio broadcasts in Esperanto.
