Pensus pri lingvoj

This line caught my eyes: They use languages of their colonial masters, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, etc., etc. to communicate and ran their governments!! Yes, it was true and it is true. This spans across the Asia till Latin America. Thus, I am pondering about these countries why not adopt Esperanto as their common language but instead of fighting for whose native tongue to use. Many countries in Latin America are still using their past colonial master's language. I did talk to a Latin American about this and he said, they have so many blood in their bodies and they don't know which to choose to represent the country. Well, isn't in this case, Esperanto fit nicely in it? Certainly not the politicians, as my friends said, these politicians would think of themselves rather than the country. It would have to wait for those who learn Esperanto when they are young to come to the political scene as the 2-2.net said, the politicians do not like to learn a new l...

Will Canada introduce Esperanto in the schools ?

I read many posts in the facebook from the Indigenous people that Canadian indigenous people are losing their lands and also culture and languages as well. I am far, too far away from this North pole country thus I don't really know much about it.

The Parliament in United Kingdom has Esperanto translators.

This site thrill me a lot. Wow, does this say that the Esperanto is a part of the parliament and is going to be major language in the United Nations ? I do not foresee it soon but the fact is how many countries in the world, their parliament list Esperanto as a language in the document translation. If you have more info of the countries, I think China may have Esperanto in the parliament as they have to broadcast it daily via the radio of Esperanto of CRI, please leave me a word. Thanks http://services.parliament.uk/hansard/Commons/ByDate/20110316/writtenanswers/part018.html What is the concept of 5.5 million for British. The amout is just used for translation: (c) Spend for face-to-face (including British Sign Language) and telephone interpreting for 2009-10 is £5.5 million and from April 2010 to January 2011 (the latest data) is £5.5million.

Oomoto vs Esperanto research in propaedeutic effects

I was madly searching for research in Asia about the propaedeutic effect that Esperanto language provides. Most of the data now available are from the European countries or English speaking countries like Australia and New Zealand. What about the data from Asia like Japan, which has large about of Esperanto speakers and also the followers of Oomoto religion which uses Esperanto for their religious purposes. I am currently doing the research on the time consuming for the local pupils. The reason for not doing the propaedeutic effect is the local people are exposed too early to the foreign languages, especially the English. Now, my question is why there is no such research in Japan ? If they can provide the same good result, this might be able to convince the Education Minister in Japan and other Asian countries to consider providing Esperanto as a spring board like the British . The children of Oomoto followers, presumably Esperanto is the second language to them since they have co...

Is China the true supporter of Esperanto ?

There were some arguments on the China government in a forum in Chinese. It gave me the sense of feeling that what they argued were true enough. For example, they said China government would do anything to pleased the other countries as long as there would be some good returns. The government would also please the group of Esperanto speakers for the good of propaganda of the Chinese communism. Well, this let me ponder on the issue of 'Is China a true supporter of Esperanto movement'? Well, if you search the net, you can read that the government has the hope and was planning to do so in a slow manner. But, this would be a question of how slow it is and what the outcome of the slowness be. But for me, the question that perhaps someone has to answer is why the government does not give out direction of learning Esperanto in the year One but instead of learning English. Despite the radio which broadcast through the 46 years, now, I am doubting what the forum said is righ...
