Moving island/Esperanto insulo

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.

La Oomoto religio/The Oomoto religion

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 ...

why no space for advertisement ?

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...

We are in ASIA/ Ni estas en azio

I posted the frustration complaints again today. It was because someone challenged me to show that Esperanto is a world wide language. There are TOEFL, IELTS, G.C.E 'O' Level English paper examinations throughout the world. But where one can find the Esperanto language examination. Now, the net boost that there are more than 120 countries having the Esperanto associations. Well, good, but how about getting someone to cordinate for that kind of testing centres. It is tired to keep telling UEA to be the main cordinator. I did also talk about this long ago. Whenever you tell an Esperantist, they will direct you to the Internacia Ligo de Esperantistaj Instruistoj . http://ilei.info/   for those who cannot read Esperanto, here is the info from wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_League_of_Esperanto_Teachers I read about that Ido has already conducting the basic examination. They also issue certificate. The habit of Esperantists are that once you learn the E...

Kiom da amoj por Esperanto

How much love do you have for Esperanto ? It is hard to measure, isn't it ? But just wondering why and what happen to the countries which has lots of esperanto speakers, for example, Japan. The oomoto religion followers, according to wiki is more than 50,000 but it is sad that none has done a little fot he Esperanto scout web page. Till now, there is no Japanese language translation.

Budhana Universitato de Esperanto

Image
I search the web, I could not find any info about it. But when I key in Buddhist university, I found many and this is one is very stricking. http://www.worldbuddhistuniversity.com/ Now, I am breathing fire again. There are so many countries with Esperanto associtiaons and they are practically the buddists as well but none is thinking of setting up the Esperanto university. The countries are Japan, Korea, China, India, Thaildand, Khemer (Cambodia) etc. But the Thailand and Cambodia still have less esperantists. Or these esperantists are thinking that it is their karma that they have to suffer learning the difficult language like Japanese, English etc. Or are they solving the problems of inequality, bringing the light of fairness to the world ??? When I talk to the buddists locally, i got very much fed up with them. I told them that if they don't start the Esperanto class, I would not be able to communicate with them further. At leaset, i have some positive feed back and ...
