Here is the video suggested by a reader responding to the first installment of the present essays series on the principle of universal language.

It was good to see this. Esperanto works! I’ve used it in speech and writing - and sung in it - in a dozen countries over recent years.
Indeed, the language has some remarkable practical benefits. Personally, I’ve made friends around the world through Esperanto that I would never have been able to communicate with otherwise. And then there’s the Pasporta Servo, which provides free lodging and local information to Esperanto-speaking travellers in over 90 countries. In the past couple of years I have had guided tours of Berlin and Milan in the planned language. I have discussed philosophy with a Slovene poet, humour on television with a Bulgarian TV producer. I’ve discussed what life was like in East Berlin before the wall came down, how to cook perfect spaghetti, the advantages and disadvantages of monarchy, and so on.
I'm off to spend two months in Cameroon shortly, as a volunteer. I've already had a phone call from Victor in Douala saying that he and his wife look forward to meeting me.
