Esperanto at the Nanjing University language festival...

Language festivals are events that are becoming more and more popular. This year a major language festival happened in an important University of China, at Nanjing, which was a success for the Esperanto course. As an English teacher reported:

But the truly eye-popping surprise was Esperanto. I always knew what Esperanto is but I never thought I would ever live to see it used at all, let alone used as a real language of conversation. I was dead wrong. The faculty staff speak Esperanto, not English, amongst each other. Of all the classes taught this weekend, mine (English) were easily (and understandably) the largest. But number two was Esperanto. Number two! Then followed by everything else. I had, until recently, absolutely no idea, not the foggiest, that Esperanto had any real currency. Wrong.

Who will inform Chomsky? :)
