Many Esperanto speakers do not read English.
Someone told us that real fact. It is not only the Esperanto speakers do not read English, in almost all non English speaking countries, not every people can read English well.
Again, we use AI review:
Why English Proficiency Varies
- Local Language Use: People use their own native language at home, at work, and in school every day.
- School Learning: Some schools do not teach English well or only teach it as a basic subject without much practice.
- Limited Need: Many people live, work, and shop in their home countries without ever needing to use English.
Levels of English Around the World
Therefore, Esperanto has the big potential in these countries to be the major language. Why is the Esperanto speaking community wanting Esperanto to be only used in gathering, or so called kongresoj.
The distance learning university thus will fulfill those people who cannot control well in English to turn to learn Esperanto for the studying in university.
After the Covid19, the distance learning is taking mode in many countries, the youngsters are used to learn distance programme.
Technological Shifts
- AI Tutors: Customizes lesson pacing and provides real-time feedback.
- Immersive Tech: Uses VR and Augmented Reality (AR) for virtual labs and interactive field trips.
Growth and Benefits
- Lifelong Learning: Helps workers continuously reskill for fast-changing job markets.
- Cost Efficiency: Eliminates housing and commuting expenses.
Main Challenges
- Digital Divide: Unequal internet access remains a barrier in developing regions.
- Engagement: High dropout rates occur due to a lack of in-person peer motivation
How the other online or distance learning in future ? Here is an article about it from University of Minnesota.
How Online Education Is Shaping the Future Workforce

Once you miss out the opportunity, next century will not return to you.
No doubt, the Esperanto speakers or Esperantists, especially the Esperantists have created very good resources in the past and it was destroyed by the language lovers. One example is the Esperanto scout movement, which was created before the World Scouting Movement https://www.scout.org/
AI Overview
The difference between an Esperanto speaker and an Esperantist is mostly about identity and community involvement. [1]
Esperanto Speakers
- Definition: Anyone who has learned and can use the Esperanto language.
Esperantists (Esperantistoj)
- Definition: A speaker or supporter who actively identifies with the culture, community, and core ideals of the Esperanto movement.
- Focus: Ideology and connection. Coined by the language creator L. L. Zamenhof, an Esperantist typically supports the vision of global peace, international equality, and universal brotherhood through the shared use of the language. They often participate in local clubs, international congresses (Universala Kongreso), or community projects
As we have said before, the language lovers are not interested in other aspects of activities. We know it well, many language teachers are not interested in leading the scouting troop in schools or in the provincial level.
Main Challenges for Growth
- No Country or Territory: The language has no geographical home or government backing, making it hard to gain natural, everyday speakers. [1, 2]
- The Power of English: Most people choose to learn English as a second language because it is already used worldwide for business, travel, and the internet. [1, 2, 3]
- The Niche Size for Blind Users: A group focused specifically on blind people who use Esperanto faces a very tiny target audience within an already small hobbyist community. [1]
For the English speakers, it always asked like the AI, there is no home for Esperanto, as We have said it in Part 1, Esperanto is a second language, thus it does not require native speakers and home, the home is the globe.
Can you imagine, when the Esperanto Distance Learning University started, the Esperanto movements, like Scout, Blind association etc would be helping the Esperanto fly higher, it can organise the sports events too.
If the Gay Games could do it this well, why not the Esperanto can have co-organised the sports events. The homosexual community, would not discriminate the Esperanto speakers like the English language community, but it might be the Esperanto speakers via the religions, discriminate the homosexual community. The AI told us this :
AI Overview
The global Esperanto community does not have an official policy of discrimination against the homosexual community, and it generally embraces progressive and inclusive social values. [1]
Community and Organization
- Supportive Groups: Active LGBTQ+ groups have existed within the movement for decades, such as the Ligo de Samseksa Esperantistoj (League of Homosexual Esperantists), which adapted over time to become inclusive of diverse gender and sexual inclinations. [1]
Individual Attitudes
- Diverse Perspectives: Because the Esperanto-speaking world is a global cross-section of people from many different national, cultural, and religious backgrounds, individual members may hold personal or conservative biases. [1]
It would be hard for Esperanto to get forward if the Esperanto community keep using the peace language but without thinking the internet age needs no further peace via language. We saw many Esperanto speakers argued and angrily left the Esperanto circle.
How Esperanto can help the autism children?
Why Esperanto Works Well
- No exceptions: Every word follows precise rules. If you know how to make one word past tense, you know how to make all words past tense. [1]
- Predictable sounds: Letters always make the exact same sound, making reading and spelling much easier to process.
- Building blocks: It uses prefixes and suffixes like building blocks. Learning a small number of root words lets children create and understand hundreds of new words logically. [1]
Benefits for Autistic Learners
- Less frustration: Clear and steady patterns prevent the sensory and mental overload caused by irregular rules in languages like English.
- Boosts confidence: Because it is very fast and easy to pick up the basics, children experience quick success, which builds motivation.
With the Esperanto distance learning university, the autism children would have a place for them to gain more knowledges.
More people know Esperanto, it will help the autism children pass the day better. Here the AI said:
AI Overview
Research shows that bilingualism does not confuse autistic children, and the structural clarity of a constructed language like Esperanto can actually make it an ideal learning tool. [1, 2, 3]
Why Esperanto Benefits Autistic Children
- Mathematical Regularity: Esperanto features 100% predictable grammar with no irregular verbs or hidden exceptions. This structure aligns perfectly with the pattern-seeking, logic-driven cognitive profiles common in autism. [1, 2]
- Phonetic Consistency: Words are written exactly how they sound. This removes the social anxiety and decoding stress associated with reading erratic languages like English or French. [1, 2, 3]
Advantages of the Distance Learning Format
- Sensory Control: Learning from home protects children from the sensory overload (e.g., loud classrooms, bright lights) that often derails traditional schooling. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Accessible Platforms to Start Learning
Since a dedicated "Esperanto University" for children does not exist, you can access these established online distance programs:
- Lernu! – A free, highly visual, multilingual platform optimized for self-paced learning.
- Duolingo – Uses game-based learning practices that have proven effective for keeping autistic students engaged.
- Learn Languages with Emma – An educational mobile app offering playful Esperanto vocabulary training specifically designed for younger children
Until here, it is the clear vision for the Esperanto speakers, hard to find Esperantists these days to know where to begin and where and when to let Esperanto flies high.
