If no one speaks Esperanto why is there an Esperanto club at the UN HQ among the translators there? Bil Munsil Tucson AZ azespero@juno.com Tutor for the free Esperanto course.
If nobody speaks Esperanto why does an inordinate percentage of Nobel prize winners speak it? Why was William Auld, an Esperanto poet and translator nominated for a Nobel prize in literature recently? Estimates are upwards of 2 million people in over 120 countries use Esperanto on a daily basis! Quite a few more than a few thousand, no? Bil Munsil Tucson AZ azespero@juno.com Esperanto tutor.
In Esperanto we CAN distinguish between sensual (volupta) and sensuous (lausenta). So much for discrediting "made-up" languages. Bil Munsil Tucson AZ azespero@juno.com Esperanto tutor.
As an Esperantist and a tutor for the free computerized 10-lesson Esperanto course I must take exception to several non-malicious (I hope) comments concerning. First - as to nuances: with its aglutinative nature and root-affix structure Esperanto can have a much higher level of nuance that most national languages. Now - to the comment "bound to fail" - hey folks! Esperanto is currectly in use in over 120 countries on a daily basis. Over 80 countries have Esperanto societies. Far from dead, Esperanto attracts more adherents each year. I would be more than happy to send anyone the first five lessons of the free course mentioned above. Bil Munsil Tucson AZ azespero@juno.com
