I think English is one of those languages which, for many, seems easy in the beginning, but then the bridge between basic knowledge and mastery takes a long time to cross, and many people give up. Why should people have to learn English? For many, it's a waste of time of spelling, of the large number of exceptions to any rule. It is very idiomatic and the prepositions are terrible. On the contrary, Esperanto is a very easy language to learn. The tense system has none of the complications of English, and the grammar is based on just 16 rules which have no exceptions. There are five vowel sounds in Esperanto, but 20 vowel sounds in English. The most remarkable thing is that after a very short time learners find that they can express quite sophisticated ideas, the same sort of things that they would want to say in their own language. Professor Nesbit, thank you very much.
