I completed the Duolingo course in Esperanto this year, and found it enormous fun. I don't know if I'll keep it up, but the thing I most appreciate about it is that it feels like a ticket to a kinder world... even if just for vacation. I'd love to build enough proficiency to attend the world congress and be able to converse with folks there. I imagine you'd meet some remarkable people. Lastly, I wish I were living in the multiverse in which there is a Star Trek series filmed in Esperanto. If I were a bored billionaire, I'd totally fund a fan series a la "Star Trek Continues" in Esperanto. Maybe we can get George Soros (native Esperanto speaker) and Paul Allen (sci-fi ultra aficionado) to talk.
