Saluton!

I speak Esperanto like a native.

Today in 1905 the first Esperanto club organizes in Boston. Developed by Polish ophthalmologist Dr. Ludovic Lazarus Zamenhof, Esperanto is the most widely spoken constructed international language. The word itself means 'one who hopes' — Dr. Zamenhof's goal was to create an easy flexible language to be used as a universal second language, in the process fostering peace and international understanding. No country has officially adopted Esperanto though there are approximately one thousand native speakers.
