I have just spent a week in Slovakia, in this town close to Bratislava,
but I don't speak any Slovak
I was here to learn Esperanto at the lernu Summer Esperanto Study program
was joined by 104 people from 22 countries
I got to learn about other cultures... and share my own.
The week was run by the organizers of "Lernu"
Lernu is a website, which teaches Esperanto for free
This international and neutral language is easy to learn
and promotes free cultural exchange
without bias to any speaker
In the afternoons we had day-trips around the region
and even a whole day in Vienna
which included checking out the Esperanto museum
In the mornings we had Esperanto lessons that were always lots of fun
I was quickly comfortable to communicate with everyone entirely in Esperanto
since it's the world's easiest language to learn
It was a great chance to find out about this new international culture I had never been aware of
and it was most of all, lots of fun!
Here are some of the things we got up to during the week!
We are learning the international language, Esperanto
So everyone was trying to take a photo of me with a straight face
Did you like this week?
Yes!
We played, we talked, we chatted together.
It was lots of fun!
This event was something I really liked.
It was excellent!
I really enjoyed the week!
I am happy that the event went well
and that everyone went away happy
We were just discussing plans for upcoming events
What an amazing week!
It was the first of many Esperanto events that I'll be going to
