It's true that I was a celibate in 1962, when after only 3 months of study I have learned Esperanto and read my first book in it. I taught myself. From that far year until today I have been reading books and magazines, listening to the radio, travelling in Brazil and sometimes in foreign countries and finding hundreds of people that speak this language too. Ah! One of my granddaughters (13 years old ( is a celibate and speaks Esperanto too. Another (4 years old) is learning, as her mother to travel to a World Conference of Esperanto that is coming to be held in Poland, next July. Her father, my son (36), speaks Esperanto since he is born, as does both my other Children a boy (32) and a girl (28) also speak Esperanto since they were born. So does my wife too and is accompanying me, with two of my Children to that conference. Ah, my second boy is not a celibate too, he is married and his wife speaks Esperanto too with their two children, the last one (5) is leaning Esperanto too with their parents and sister. Last my daughter spent a year ion the Chech Republic when she was 16/17 and used several times Esperanto their and in Germany, where she took part in a meeting of young people (of course celibates, but everybody using Esperanto) from almost 40 different countries. As you see you are anaware not only about your new software, but about Esperanto AT ALL!

You can go to http://lernu.net, a site for learning Esperanto (totally free) to get an idea of what's going on. You can also try to contact the local Esperantist group. In some cities it's bigger, in some cities it's smaller, I have yet to find a city without one.

During a short period of 121 years Esperanto is now in the top 100 languages, out of 6,800 worldwide, according to the CIA World factbook. It is the 17th most used language in Wikipedia, and in use by Skype, Firefox and Facebook. Native Esperanto speakers,(people who have used the language from birth), include George Soros, World Chess Champion Susan Polger, Ulrich Brandenberg the new German Ambassador to NATO and Nobel Laureate Daniel Bovet. According to the CIA Factbook the language is within the top 100 languages, out of all languages, worldwide.
