| These days, it is easier for us to travel to other countries than ever before. However, there is a big difficulty that most of us _1_ when we meet people in other countries--we cannot communicate with them. There are _2_ where English is still not spoken, though it is the most widely known language. So, wouldn't it be _3_ if there was one language that could be understood by anyone anywhere in the world? Esperanto that was created in 1887 may be the world's _4_ truly international language. In fact, although _5_ artificial (人造的) languages have been already created, only Esperanto has had much success. Its learner say that it is about four times _6_ to learn than other languages. Spelling and pronunciation are both easy, too. For example, it does not have silent _7_ like the "h" in "hour". If you _8_ a word, you can spell it without any difficulty. The grammar is also as simple as possible: only sixteen basic _9_, no irregular verbs (不规则动词), only six verb endings. In short, Esperanto should be attractive as a language to learn, _10_ there is a problem: how many people have met anyone who can really speak it? Anyway, we hope that some day one language can be mastered easily by anyone. | ||||
