There is always a conflict between European Esperantists and Asian Esperantists. 

Just love this comment. This is also what I face when I am in my promotion of Esperanto. People tend to know how many people speak Esperanto, the time spend to learn is not a matter of fact, it is the usefulness. Speaking two languages or more in my country, Malaysia is very common. Though some of the languages may not be proficiency, it has the purpose of communication. As my friends said, they never heard Esperanto in Europe on the street eventhough Esperanto was borne in Europe. Care to consider this matter more instead of keep talking how good the language is if the Esperantists or Esperanto speakers are not even using some at home with the family members. Whether or not one can speak a language fluently after only a short period of instruction is not a good test of “workability”. The best test is always to see how many people currently speak a given language and, on that basis, Esperanto falls short. Perhaps after a sustained and coordinated campaign of state-sponsored ed...

Of late, the Esperanto speakers or Esperantists are still talking and even arguing the fact what Esperanto would become. Some said it is for peace. Some said it is for the world communication. Some said it is a part of my life. Some said it is for fun. Some said it is for business. Some said... Well, the list goes on with different ideas. Just as someone said the word esperantistoj and esperantoparolantoj and the in English Esperanto speakers and Esperantists. According to wilki definition, Esperantists are those take Esperanto as seious as their life. But for esperantistoj and esperantoparolantoj en Esperanto, I am not sure how they use it for. It would be that those arguing the Esperanto would be in two camps,one if serious and the other is no. But of all the above, mostly agree it is the function of peace. Well, a question pop up from my friends that, without peace, can we attain peace ? Even those speaking the same language are still fighting among themselves. ...

I think what my friends are worth considering. Though they were jokingly saying it but for me, I felt deep to be ashamed of as a future Esperanto speaker. The Gays and Lesbians in many parts of the world are facing more pressures than the Esperanto movement in today's world. But the Esperanto sports seem a distance name for me. I think also never happen before. As I know Esperanto activities are mainly circled around the art but not sports. Though in politics and economy too as the International Esperanto Comerce is one of the examples. I have twitted many times and again saying it in the Facebook. But, I am saying to the wrong person. My friends asked: 'Are your Esperanto speakers softies? They don't like sports. They just like to sit and read books????' I really cannot answer it. For me, I like sports and I wish I could participate in one of the sports event. Not for trophy though. What would the feeling Esperanto speakers as you are reading this. The GLB...

I was annoyed once upon a time when I read about the comment in the Yahoo answer page. Later, I agreed with the writer.

I was feeling disgusted with some Esperanto speakers. They seem not able to understand the world is made up of many kinds of spices. They are not the only ONE that live on the earth. They were fortunate to learn Esperanto in the schools or universities. But, for us in the ASEAN region, we have to make use of our free time and resources to learn this language called ESPERANTO . I know they love Esperanto much, but you must be tolerant to accept the notices that appear in our mother tongue or local languages. Do you know we have more languages in Asia than the Europe and Latin America ? Just in Indonesia, it is more than 600 languages and in Malaysia is 214 tribes. It is almost a thousand languages in just in two countries. If you want Esperanto to be a part of the day in everyone, welcome to come to ASEAN, bring us the books and textbooks. Don't just come in emptied handed. We need readers here. Languages are not just merely learn in the classrooms, readers are the vital part t...
