What am I going to do with Esperanto?

Esperanto is NOT a dead language! It’s over 125 years old and it is not going away. There are many good reasons to learn Esperanto. First of all, it is a small investment. You need very little time to grasp most of it. During this process, you will find yourself reflecting upon the structure of your own native language and how it is articulated. On a more practical level, Esperanto might help you out in places where English is not spoken at all or very little. It can help you communicate with locals and it is a great introduction to other languages. ‘To eat’ in Esperanto is manĝi. Now that you know this you can guess the meaning of manger, mangiare, and a mânca (respectively French), Italian, and Romanian for to eat.) Esperanto is your passport to new horizons! Bear in mind that there are an estimated two million speakers of Esperanto in Europe – there is a fair chance you may meet some one day.
