This year I found out about Esperanto, the international and neutral language, which is also the world’s easiest to learn. It encourages open cultural exchange without preference to any particular speaker. I very much liked the idea, but I wanted to see if it really worked! So, I signed up to the first international Summer Esperanto Study program in Slovakia, which was organized by Lernu ; a website for learning Esperanto for free. I saw an international community that I never knew existed. I found out that Esperanto isn’t just a language; it’s people and ideas that work together. I hope that this video shows exactly why this was only the first of many Esperanto events that I will be going to.
If you would like to see more, there are photos and all the unedited videos on my flickr profile.

Saluton,
Bona filmeto! Mi volis iri al tiu evento, sed mankis tempo… tro multaj interesaj eventoj okazas en la somero!
Mi feliĉas ke la kunveno tiom plaĉis al vi kiel nova Esperantisto, kaj dankon ke vi tiom bone kaj entuziasme raportis pri ĝi!

I have just come back from an international holiday in Plouezec, Brittany, where the only language used was Esperanto. 150 people from Britain, Germany, Russia, Poland all spent a week talking, singing, and learning together usiing this delightful language. It really works, and deserves more than just grass-roots support. 150 people from Britain, Germany, Russia, Poland all spent a week talking, singing, and learning together usiing this delightful language.

I really love Esperanto, but it isn’t the world’s easiest language anymore: since Toki Pona a language of only 118 has been developped. (Based upon the semantic fundamentals of all languages.)
