Esperanto Comes To Wales
Esperanto Youth of Britain members have visited the city of Cardiff or 'Kairdiff' for their first meeting in Wales prior to the British Esperanto Congress in Llandudno in May 2010, when speakers from around the UK will gather. The group hope their visit will create interest in Esperanto and claim that the language is growing in popularity.
There are two to three million speakers of Esperanto worldwide, and four UK primary schools teach Esperanto as a preparation for learning other languages, under a pilot scheme called Springboard organised by the Esperanto Association of Britain.
