About Esperanto
Last updated Sunday, 16th October 2011
Esperanto is a language deliberately designed to be easy to learn! The vocabulary is taken from the words shared by the main European languages and the grammar is very simple, yet Esperanto is just as vibrant and expressive as any other language. Intended to be neutral, nobody has an unfair disadvantage when speaking it. Learners usually find they are able to hold normal conversations within a couple of months or even weeks!
Spoken across the world
It is thought that there are at least 1,000,000 Esperanto speakers worldwide from over 100 countries. Esperantists come from all walks of life. You can meet someone from the other side of the planet, find out have loads in common, you will have a laugh with them and understand every word with Esperanto as your only shared language!
