Esperanto is a language. It is a language that was specially planned and created as a neutral second language which people of all nations can accept. For 120 years Esperanto has been helping communication between people with different mother tongues.
With this one language you can make friends in over 100 countries, through travel, correspondence, internet communication, and congresses.
Many Esperantists are willing to host other Esperantists in their own house: find out about the "pasporta servo" at http://www.tejo.org/eo/ps
Learn about other cultures. Esperanto, being neutral, allows direct contact, understanding, and the sharing of cultures on an equal footing.
With a clear and consistent structure, Esperanto allows for rapid progress. Enough competence to communicate well comes much more easily than with other national languages. Success in Esperanto can then help the study of other languages.
