I think that the teaching or learning of any language is a splendid thing. Latin is no exception.

A really daring step would be to offer people Esperanto, once described as "the Latin of democracy". The planned language Esperanto has been in use now for over a century. It offers instant communication between people of different mother tongues. Take a look at Esperanto on the World Wide Web for an indication of how widely it is being used. A good place to begin is www.esperanto.net
