I hope you won't mind if I add that the Esperanto Association of Britain is offering a free postal course in the international language – marked by a network of voluntary tutors.

The free postal course is suitable for those who would like a quick taster, and gives an overview of the language in twelve bite-sized portions. Once the learner has received the first lesson, they simply return their answers with an SAE. Then the tutor will reply with guidance and the next lesson.

Esperanto is considerably easier to learn than national languages, since its design is far simpler and more regular. Also, unlike national languages, Esperanto allows communication on an equal footing between people, with neither having the usual cultural advantage favouring a native speaker.

Hilary Chapman, spokesman for the Esperanto Association of Britain said, “Learning can take place anywhere for people who take our introductory course. And we offer opportunities for people to hear the spoken language too, for example at Wedgewood Memorial College in Staffordshire this summer.

“There are a number of different courses available, so there’s bound to be one to suit your needs. Learning needn’t be like going back to school – and there are choices available now which were not offered to us in our schooldays.”
