A language created to facilitate communication amongst people from different countries. In
practical use for more than a hundred years, Esperanto has proved to be a genuinely living
language, capable of expressing all facets of human thought.
Esperanto doesnt belong to any specific country or people. It belongs equally to everybody who
speaks it, acting as a bridge between cultures.

international character. This makes it possible to reach fluency
much more quickly than in any other language its up to ten
times easier to learn, according to scientific studies.
Why could it be interesting to learn Esperanto?
You can make friends all over the world, for instance, by having
penpals in distant countries and other cultures. If you like
