Ways to promote Esperanto

There are several ways the Esperanto can be promoted:

1. Singing Contests
2. Sports
3. Cultural events
4. Supporting the firms which sponsor the abovementioned activities.

The import and export company in China, Xi En even organised Mr and Miss Esperanto contest. However, this contest is not much based on the look but is on the intelligent and the ability to speak Esperanto.

How many business people did that to promote the Esperanto. If Xi En company met the French and Korea Esperantist who are also business men, in short, there are more business men who speak Esperanto.

The organisng of Singing Contest would not only help to promote Esperanto but also the development of the Esperanto music industry. We can watch many good singers and song composers in the youtube, especially from Brazil.

Songs capture the hearts of young and old.

Sports. Well, I was FB with a famous Esperantist and he told me he is not interested in sports. Well, that is the problem, if one is not interested in sports, he does not need to participate but he can support it. This is the attitude of the Esperantists.

What sports can bring in ? It is not only the healthy body but also friendships. Don't you see the world cup of different types of sport events ? Esperanto circle may not have Esperanto sportsman or woman, but it would be an opportunity for the Esperanto speakers to turn out to be a great sportsman or woman. Many Esperantists are language lovers as I found out these days and few are really sports lovers. There are so many events that can take place like table tennis, badminton, swimming,etc and of course athletics as well.

It can hold it in a country, a provincial levels or even at the club levels. Did the Esperanto associations did that before ?

I believe that Milo that healthy drink company would love to be the sponsor as the colour of Milo and Esperanto flag is the same. It can be a long time partners perhaps.

Cultural events can also be bringing in many Esperantists. I was suggesting to the Thailand Esperantists to organise the Songkran festival, which is the largest event in Thailand each year. Why Esperantists never want to visit such event? Of course there is another one which is in the end of the year called Loy Kratong

But the Esperantists are merely talking about peace and unfairness, even the linguists who did the dying language research did not even mentioned a word of Esperanto in their books. I told one in the FB post and he/she was shock to learn that Esperanto is a UNESCO recognised language.

Finally, support the products of the esperantists. I do that now. I only buy from the shops that greet me SALUTON.

Well, even just one word, it is suffice to get my money.

VSM helps to propel the Esperanto quicker if you are really in line to save the world and protect the mother tongue in the world.
