This can be done by many Esperantists

This is the a good idea to help to spread the Esperanto learning. I was waiting for more to say they would be also doing it in their locations. I did that from time to time. Certainly, it is not a happy ending as most learners are not too keen in Esperanto as they still do not want to use the Facebook facilities like the Esperanto page or join the Esperanto pages and groups. This is the situation in my country. We are forced to learn many languages when the day we arrived in the world. The mother tongue and the national language, English is make compulsary by the stupid government, which thinks the world would be better with English. Even they have representatives in the UN and UNESCO, how can they never heard of Esperanto when the 3 minutes speech yearly. Now, just spend a little time of yours, and more Esperanto speakers could be found on earth. Well, do what you think you can, even a chat with the neighbour about Esperanto is good for the kids would probably awake them...

How many kinds of Esperantists ?

Certainly, I am not surprised to find so many groups of Esperantists. Basically they are: 1.language lover 2. just to say a few words for fun 3.the movement campaigner 4.wait and see, if Esperanto is going to be a major language, continue to learn it. 5.too 'hot' and too 'engross' in wanting to build Esperanto nation 6.mother tongue users. Well, I think that would be more if I am active in the scene.

E-Volunteer World Project

After reading this article , I was a little upset and felt annoyed why the minority tribes are all the time to be marginalised and in the losing ends. Though it is not easy to get past the government to introduce Esperanto in the schools hence we have to do the relay translation. But the money that spent to train the translator is more than teaching them Esperanto. The article in 2-2.se c ame to me again that no child be losing out due to language and social economy. Thus, I have this idea that why not start from a place, we always need to begin somewhere and small, the E-volunteer World Projet (EVWP) or PEVM in Esperanto--Projekto de Esperanto Volunto Mondo.

Did he not knowing he did not able to understand Esperanto?

What I mean by saying Esperanto has lost its momentum, is that it hasn't managed to realise its potential. As far as I understood, its ambition was to serve as the primary communication language between people with different mother tongues. I think it has been used like that in the twenties and the thirties (maybe longer), but you'll have to admit that English is in that position now. The fact that both this blog and our comments are in English, rather than in Esperanto, is just one example. My impression is that Esperanto is confined to the Esperantist community that is so vociferously spreading it. http://www.tedxamsterdam.com/2012/the-humanness-of-esperanto/ Well, the article attracted lots of comments and I just wonder whether this Dutch man can understand Esperanto if all the Esperantists commenting on the article are using Esperanto. By doing so,he may again accusing Esperantists not politely honnoring him as the article is written in English.

UN voices

Just came to this page and find it is good. But just wondering, there is someone writing to the page for the inclusion of Esperanto ? The UNESCO recommend Esperanto for the International auxilary language, however, it is just only preaching but not doing it. Who would agree to the calling of UNESCO ? If it is the good language as listed by UNESCO , this international body should take the lead by example, use it officially in the organisation and other funcitons.

Do you want twitter to have Esperanto page ?

Well, here it is again twitter is looking for translation . It seems twitter is more interested in translating the so called tribal language, thus it should consider to translate semai language of the indigenous people in my country, who may not total up to 10,000 people. Facebook has the Esperanto version, the google has the Esperanto search page and also the translator.  But alas, the blogspot, which is a subsidiary company of google has no Esperanto version.

China Esperanto Merchant Group

Why so many people worried about the powerful China ? It is the process of growth and it is fair to be too. Many silly heads of the countries would quickly, either to please China or too much of fears in their heads and quickly to force the people to learn Chinese language. Don't they know that China has the Esperanto merchant league group ? Just learn Esperanto and you can trade with them. China does not force you to learn the language of hers. If some of the traders have such a pact in the agreement, expose it to the public.
