Esperanto

I'm now corresponding in Esperanto with a person from Le Mans, France, someone from Rengo, Chile, and a person from Hokkaido, Japan emailed me today. He went to the 1972 Universala Kongreso de Esperanto in Portland, OR (on of the three UEA congresses in the US ever; the others were in Washington DC in 1910 and San Francisco in 1915. San Francisco's congress had the worst turnout ever for a UKE, but that was probably because of WWI). I can say for certain that I am starting an Esperanto society at school next year. It is an amazing tool.
