La patria es ara y no pedestal
One friend used to call it, “The next dead language.” My response? “Ne estu idioto!” Esperanto is far from dead, though at times, I feel that it is staggering around the world zombie-like, gibbering strangely, arms outstretched, seeking new victims. And I myself am one of the undead.
On the other hand, the damned thing has changed my life. Just over 10 years ago, I started studying it, partly out of a need to convince myself that I could learn another language. My forays into French, Spanish and even the German of my ancestors captured only an ability to count to 10 in each plus the certainty that I would never be at a loss to ask where the restroom was.
