Dear reader,
Have you ever wanted to tell someone about a good movie, an interesting book, or something else you like? That's why we want to tell you about Esperanto. We're fans of the language, so we'd like other people to know about it too and discover how good it is for international communication.
"We" are people from various countries who regularly use Esperanto to connect across national borders. We're also active in the organizations that collaborated to produce this booklet: E@I and ILEI, both described on page 7.
The booklet has seven sections. We start with some basic information about Esperanto. Then there's a quick introduction to the language itself. The third section contains the personal stories of some Esperanto speakers. The fourth part briefly describes the work of L. L. Zamenhof, the man who gave Esperanto its basic structure. In the fifth section, a psychologist discusses Esperanto and international communication from a psychological angle. Then we answer some frequently asked questions about Esperanto. And we end with some details of the Esperanto movement in English-speaking countries.
As we've said, we're fans of Esperanto, and if this booklet piques your interest in this fascinating language, we'll be delighted.
Happy reading!
The E@I team
