Sir, - This is an age of communication. Yet, facing into the third millennium, a German a Frenchman, a Russian, a Spaniard, a Belgian and a Pole can meet and not be able to speak to each other.
Why not a simple international language which has been tried and tested and stands ready for use?
We are offering a free correspondence course in the easy and fascinating international language, Esperanto. This is a living language used by millions of people worldwide for every conceivable purpose. It is now also widely used on the Internet.
Esperanto is taught in 500 schools and 113 universities in 30 countries. It is recognised by the UN, UNESCO and the Vatican. There are 30,000 books available in the language and 158 magazines in Esperanto appear regularly.
It is ideal for penfriends and hobbies, international contacts, free accommodation abroad, etc. For details, write to the address below. - Yours, etc.,
Joy Davies, Esperanto Association of Ireland, 9 Templeogue Wood, Dublin 6W.
