The Easy Esperanto Project:
Website
Easy Esperanto will also
create a website to help raise
awareness of the Esperanto
cause. This website will have a
section about the basic grammar
and vocabulary of Esperanto. It
will also promote the cultural
understanding that Esperanto
hopes to foster. The website
will emphasize that Esperanto,
because it is a secondary
language, allows its users to
keep their national and cultural
pride, but at the same time
appreciate the cultures of
others. Those who browse the
website will leave knowing that
Esperanto is a universal
language, and as such helps to
create unity among the people
of the world.

Need for Secondary
Language Education
Thanks to high-speed Internet and
other technologies, all aspects of human
life have become more globalized.
Communication between all parties is
essential for success in this era.
However, Americans are not able
to communicate. Only 16% of Americans
speak a language other than English at
home, and most of the remaining 84% do
not even know another language. America
is a world leader, but if Americans cannot
speak with people from other parts of the
world, the nation may lose its great
reputation.
There is another problem—many
Americans do not understand cultural
differences, and accidentally offend people
from different cultures.

Is there a language that can
solve both of these problems, but is also
easy to learn and preserves the
American identity? There is! This
language is known as Esperanto, and
Easy Esperanto plans to teach this
language to Americans.

What is Esperanto and
How can it Help?

The Easy Esperanto
Project: Local Programs

In 1887, Dr. L.L. Zamenhof
published a book on Esperanto, which was
a language he had designed specifically to
be a secondary language.
Esperanto is the perfect secondary
language. Most importantly, it will not
compete with English as the primary
American language. If a person learned
another language, such as Spanish, he
would be confused when to use Spanish
and when to use English, but Esperanto
would be used only when speaking with
those who can’t speak English. It allows
Americans to communicate, but still keep
their identity.
Esperanto is also very easy to
learn. It requires only ¼ the time as a
language like Spanish or French, and its
vocabulary and grammar is similar to
English.
Esperanto is the perfect secondary
language for Americans, and Easy
Esperanto helps Americans learn this
language so that they can communicate
with non-English speakers from around
the world.

Easy Esperanto plans to teach the
Esperanto language to Americans by
implementing local programs. These
programs will be conducted in cities like
New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston,
and there will be programs in local towns.
The programs will run twice a
week for two months. They will
emphasize basic grammar and vocabulary
of Esperanto, and will focus on the verbal
aspect of Esperanto. Students will learn
important phrases. The purpose of the
programs is to allow participants to
communicate if they were to travel to a
foreign country.
The staff members for the
programs are experts in Esperanto. All
instructors are certified as passing the
Esperanto Advanced proficiency exam.
This means that they are completely fluent
in speaking, reading, and writing.
Easy Esperanto programs are
effective in teaching Esperanto so that
participants have enough knowledge of
the language to get by,
and thus help
Americans
adjust to a
changing
world.
