    Yes indeed! I discovered it by accident in 1950, and have used it almost daily since then. It opened up for me the wonderful world of languages. If you (probably unknowingly!) suffer from monolingual myopia, you can use this non-ethnic interlanguage as a springboard and shortcut to learning more complicated ethnic languages. If you've never heard Esperanto spoken, try listening to one of the daily podcasts in Esperanto from Radio Polonia (or others from Radio China International, or Radio Vaticana):

    Esperanto is as useful as you want to make it, but you have to be pro-active - just get out there and look for ways to use this common second language, and at the same time feel good about helping to preserve the world's linguistic heritage from the depredations caused by World English.

    I've heard of Esperanto. I've learned to to some degree of fluency, and that happened pretty quickly because of the simplicity of verb conjugations, etc. It is phonetic. Esperanto is written like it sounds, and sounds like it is written. It is used by millions of people, and is spoken worldwide. It is useful. Esperanto does not replace national languages, but rather respects the languages and cultures of the world. Esperanto is rich and expressive. Esperanto has beautiful literature, and is one of the fastest growing languages on the internet.

    Esperanto is most efficient language in finding people during travel who want to meet foreigners. Most people who never heard of Esperanto assume our community of a million is a fib. The mass media ignores us but we have done better with on-line media where thousands of websites with our activities exist. Many, if not most, problems and agression in the world involves mistrust and ignorance and Esperanto has been a blessing for me (for 40 years). I have traveled to 33 countries with world directories of Esperanto Speakers, lived abroad for 16 full years speaking mostly Esperanto. Pasporta Servo is one of those paper and on-line Esperanto hosting services For correspondence the Jarlibro of Universala Esperanto Associo has been very efficient. True, you rarely bump into Esperantists by chance in the street, but life can be planned: every major city and numerous towns have Esperanto clubs waiting for your talk or contributions. Try searching China (Chinio/Cxinio/C'inio) or Hungary (Hungario) or Brazil (Brazilo) or Lithuania (Litovio)---friends are waiting for you.

    yes, and I use Esperanto every day in my emails, contacting my friends in the world, from Asia, Europe, North & South America, Africa, Indian Ocean, etc...

    And you? How you get friends from all over the world?
