Course Description

The constructed language Esperanto was invented in 1887 to facilitate international communication and understanding. Esperanto was designed to be easy to learn with phonetic pronunciation and simple, consistent grammar. The Esperanto movement grew rapidly but suffered a severe setback in the run-up to World War II. The language was specifically condemned by Hitler. Stalin labeled it “the language of spies.” But in recent decades, Esperanto has regained ground with the rise of the internet. Today, the Esperanto movement is a growing transnational community of over 2 million speakers who regularly communicate either virtually or in person. If you ever wanted to learn a second language, here is your chance. While all language learning takes effort, Esperanto can be learned in a fraction of the time it takes to learn other languages. Esperanto boasts a large literature of original and translated works, films and music.
