vekiĝu al la realo

Enjoyed my Esperanto Day or Esperanto Birthday on the 26th July. It was yesterday. Maddening in twitting and of course, not co-ordinated well and wasted my effort in having the twits in #esperanto symbol. Having suggested my idea to make 26th of each the Esperanto day, not birthday though. The twit would carry two symbols, #esperanto and #tago. The aim of making 26th of each month the Esperanto Day is not to compete with the treand point. It is to let the esperantists to twit in Esperanto on 26th of the month. Of course, help the komencanto like me. However, the 26th of July is a more powerful promotion of Esperanto and it is twittering in all languages you can to let the followers know what Esperanto is. If they know it in this meaningful day and start to learn it, it would be a good and sweet memory for them. It would be good point to let the other beginners to know 26th is the birthday of Esperanto and the month they have to find out. I got this idea that there is a twit...

It is 124 years now and it would go on stronger and stronger as my wish in this day. Feliĉan Naskiĝtagon al Esperanto Estas 124 jaroj kaj mi deziru ke ĝi fortas kaj fortos en futuro. 26 julio 2011 en malajzio

I am not a translator but some how has involved in translating work for some time. If one speaks more than one language, s/he would involve in translating. Good or bad translation is another topic of discussion.

Kiel la loko por esperanta kongreso estas elektita ? Ni devu pensi pri tio. After writing the Vietnam post of the UK and someone told me, nope, ask me how the venue of the esperanto is chosen. I did not know. But according to the UEA site , it has certain rules to follow but alas one of the item did not list down is the place should have certain number of Esperanto speakers. The UEA site list the venue should have: The venue Universal Congresses of Esperanto have been held in all types of facilities: convention centres, concert halls, hotels and fairs convention premises, universities etc. But, considering the size of the Congress, UEA prefers to hold its congresses in multifunctional and self-sufficient enviroments and in premisses located rather in the downtowns or in their vicinity than out of the cores of the cities. UEA tries to organize a congress outside Europe every 3 to 4 years, in order to support the movement in other continents, and inside of Europe to migrate equi...

While on the road of promoting and introducing Esperanto,the questions that the audience post would be : Which country is the Esperanto ? No country that speak Esperanto ? If no country adopt is as national language, then, which race the Esperanto is belong to ? Well, it is time that we have to know the earth is moving and many things are created day in and day out. The food, clothing etc. Unofficial data said that it is about 1,000 artificial languages in the world. Some died out quickly and some stay and even florishing. But ONLY Esperanto survives and even get the recognition from UNESCO. I remembered when I was young, we used to create secret languages so that the adults would not know what was going on. They perhaps think that the children were playful. If I would include those short live languages that we created, I think it would be more than a million artificial languages. Interestingly that people learn a language which has the realationship to the country and ...

Did the Esperantists throughout the world ask for an apology from the United State of America ? Why on earth so many artificial language the department did not want to choose but in purpose to choose Esperanto which has been passed in UNESCO. What is your feeling ? Angry or sad ? http://www.esperanto-usa.org/eo/node/1028 http://www.kafejo.com/lingvoj/auxlangs/eo/maneuver/

Read the report that how English is hard to be understood but they still want to make English a compulsory pass in Malaysia. Sodomy II defence counsel Karpal Singh has laughed off Parti Kita president Zaid Ibrahim's police report against him as 'frivolous' and a distraction to the police from serving the interests of the people. “Zaid should seriously consider a crash course in the English language,” said Karpal ( right ) in a statement today. “It is obvious to one having even the rudiments of the English language that my references to Zaid 'fishing in troubled waters' refers to the law of contempt being defied, and the risk and consequences of committing contempt of court could, as a consequences, make one liable to a fine or imprisonment.” Last Wednesday Karpal warned the Kita president and former PKR leader that the latter's public remarks on Anwar's sodomy trial veered close to contempt of court. He added then that, “As a lawyer, Zaid should k...

I did not know these talks are redicules or it is the talk. But, it is good to reflect on it from all angles. http://www.ted.com/conversations/1642/the_english_language_promotes.html http://www.ted.com/talks/patricia_ryan_ideas_in_all_languages_not_just_english.html?awesm=on.ted.com_93mk&utm_campaign=patricia_ryan_ideas_in_all_languages_not_just_english&utm_content=ted.com-talkpage&utm_medium=on.ted.com-twitter&utm_source=twitter.com http://www.ted.com/talks/jay_walker_on_the_world_s_english_mania.html

I was searching for Hanoi, which is the hosting city for the 97th World Esperanto Congress ( 97-a Universala Esperanta Kongreso ) and found that the info of Vikipedio in English and Esperanto is not the same.

Many in the Esperanto circle know who Chuck is. I also subscribe his Esperanto blog to read. His latest blog was about the IJK in Ukrain and of course, it was unsatisfying for him. He blogged in a humorous way but the bottom line is that the blame is there. I left a comment about going to Rome do as Romans do. It looks like it was trashed. We always tend to judge people from our way of life but do not have the consideration for the poor and underdeveloped countries. I was such a person before, I admitted it. I was in China and Thailand to see the way of life still in the far remote system. I did the same thing of comment, hurt the feeling of the local people. I also like to apologise here for my ignorance. Organising the Esperanto Congress has no government backup like the Olympic Games, Asia Games etc. It is all from the Esperantists who have to use the time, take leave from work if there is no full time staff to run the work. Therefore, I felt no surprise at all fro...

When I was looking for the info, they did not even respond to me. Well, it is always an excuse word BUSY. 

I was talking to a few friends about business ventures and all of a sudden think of Esperanto gift items. Well, it is marvelous to find someone has good items here .

At times, when there is no idea what to write or nag, it is good to pop in the forum, of course, the good forum pages like lernu.net. I just love this idea too. This whole business of giving Esperanto a new public image is to my mind a matter of great urgency. For a start perhaps we could organise a concerted attack on 'Globish' (international English as it is actually spoken). I, for one, am fed up with hearing the ugly vowels, jarring consonants, and primitive grammar of our evergrowing immigrant population here in the UK. And hardly a televison or radio bulletin passes without some interview with an Eksterlandano whose command of English is sorrowful. Forget about the classic English virtues of tolerance and fairmindedness. It's time to start taking the piss - or to establish a tradition of correcting every mispronunciation, misuse of vocabulary and mangling of grammar, every time we encounter it. Speak English or Esperanto, not Globish, should be the battl...

La Hispana Esperanto-Kongreson (Spanish Esperanto Congress) did a good job. Now the whole world is talking about this live stream between Corsetti-Camacho. But, truely, I have not watch it yet as my internet connect in my house in the village is horrible bad. ( Many people won't understand the plight of the people living in the village) http://gxirafo.blogspot.com/ This talk prompted me to think of why there is no one organising the Esperanto debate as an annual activity for local clubs, regional or even international. The debate of Corsetti--Camcho to some is said a discussion but if we can have the proper debate event like other languages, even in the school clubs, that would certainly help more schools to set up the Esperanto Clubs. Will it be too difficult to do that ? There are so many Esperanto Associations in the world, begin from the association for the members and this would soar soon through inter-clubs or inter-associations and the regional would grow and inter...

I think I have talked about it many times in the past. And again, today is another same nagging blog article. I revisited the KAEM page , nothing much change. Why I came to touch on the Esperanto publication again. It was because I have an argument with few friends. Afterall, they are right with their visions. I don't blame the fact that they are very keen to know what and why Esperanto in Asia never take off. The issue we touched on, again is the Monato magazine, which claim to be something like the Newsweek version in English. I have never even read one copy of this magazine. I could not say much about. But, I certainly doubt about the content would be as good as newsweek. 1. Newsweek has the Asia version, which focus on the Asian issues.But with no Asia agents of Monato, how the magazine is going to sell like Newsweek. Asian would foremost, like to read what is happening in Asia. We don't wait till the translation months later to come out and read it. This Monato has ...

Certainly I am happy to see something is on, especially in Asia. This is the language course of collaborating between the Esperanto Insulo and Hainan University, China For me, I still look forward to having other courses, like music, mangement, art, social sciences to be conducted in this world. Now, the issue that you can go to teach Esperanto in all the world, just by the language itself but not as a means of other purpose, Esperanto will still remain as a language which few people would take time to learn. Countries like Malaysia and other ASEAN region have different languages and Esperanto is the best for those who are not so linguistic incline, cannot control English to be a way for them to be nurtured to be a professional. Dream on, as my friend told me. Yes, I still keep this dream till next decade and if not, forlasos Esperanton.

I was talking to a new aquiantance and I touched on the Japanese Esperanto religion Oomoto. In fact, I was promoting the Esperanto, like a salesman. We talked about the propaeduetic effect of the Esperanto. Later, I was again talking to a Japanese about the possible of propaedeutic effect for us, non Japanese to learn Japanese language. I was, all of the sudden, curious about the Oomoto followers. Do they learn English faster than non Oomoto followers ? Since Oomoto is the only religion in the which uses Esperanto for gathering, in short, the baby is already being exposed to Esperanto since the day one in the temple. http://www.oomoto.or.jp/English/index-en.html If you have the info, please leave me a note, I need that for my research. Thanks a lot. Besides, the martial art Akido was created by the Esperantist, Ueshiba , and this martial art is now the international body. Is Esperanto the main language of communication ? I doubt it as I met an Indonesian online and he is ...

After reading this post, I realised I need to write something about it. That is advertisment. Reklamo. Right, we can see less advertisment on the pages of the Esperanto Congress. I do not know how it would be to help the less fortune ones to have a change of his/her life. In the previous post, I did touch on the issue. But till today, it is still nothing much change. As in my country, at least, we can get some sponsors either from the communities if not the giant company. Last time, I touched on the advertisment in Monato magazine. But now it is on the congress. It makes me wonder how long the road of Esperanto to be able to let the world know and learn it. At least, now I am glad that the lernu page is having the google ad, or perhaps the google adsense project.  Some advertisment, especially the good ones, it is also good for the knowledge. But why the congress of Esperanto did not have that ? Though I dislike the internet pages from China, too many advertisment...
