When I was a teenager living in New York City I met the Australian Ambassador to the United Naition, Ralph Harry (3 years in the late 1970s'). He was a life long advocate (as somebody who learned to fluency French and German) that everybody needs to be literate in two languages. In the United States we are consistently monolingual. Isn't that true in most English speaking countries, not counting immigrants, which might be 10 percent of the population? So he proposed that people learn the easy second language Esperanto. He cofounded an office across the street from the United Nations and Esperanto, five times easier than English or French (to speak, read and write) is in a revival with the advent of the computer. Several thousand Esperanto speakers are active on Facebook and Ipernity social networking sites. Thousands more meet annually at several large conferences (Universala Kongreso) attracting people from 70 countries. Ralph Harry and I are certain that it is easier to become trilingual by learning Esperanto first and then a language like Spanish, French or Portuguese or even Hebrew, very different than European languages. You will find langauge lovers within the Esperanto community and we generally speak 3 or 4 languages. Self-study is free at lernu.net Sincerely Neil Blonstein, New York

My name's Alex ( if you hadnt noticed) and I've just come back to polyglot after a while away. I've noticed that the site has been dying off to some degree. We've had no meetings in Sydney since 2007? And from what I've read they were hardly a hit...anyway I'm just posting this to see if anyone is still around and see where we can go from there. Im yearning to learn some french and i'm not the oldest person around here but if youre interested in having a talk about the whole thing, feel free to send me an email
