How to have a cheap holiday - learn Esperanto

Learning Esperanto could help you holiday on the cheap during the credit crunch, says the Esperanto Association of Britain at the launch of EuroTalk's new language learning disc for beginners. 

Around 1,350 Esperanto speakers in more than 85 countries offer free accommodation and hospitality to visitors with only one proviso: they have to speak Esperanto too! 

The new Talk Now! Learn Esperanto CD-ROM, from language specialists EuroTalk, includes useful words and phrases to start off would-be house guests such as "hello" (saluton), "I don't smoke" (Mi ne fumas) and "where can I park my car?" (kie mi rajtas parki mian automobilon?)! 

Esperanto is a language devised by Dr Ludovic Zamenhof in Poland in 1887 in a bid to create a universal second tongue that everyone could use.
