At least as language learning is concerned. As far as learning a second language is concerned, can I put in a word for Esperanto? Although it is a living language, it helps language learning as well. Four schools in Britain have introduced this neutral international language, in order to test its propaedeutic values. The pilot project is being monitored by the University of Manchester, and the initial results are very encouraging. These can be seen at http://www.springboard2languages.org/Summary%20of%20evaluation,%20S2L%20Phase%201.pdf An interesting video can be seen at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8837438938991452670 and a glimpse of Esperanto at http://www.lernu.net I’ve not met Buth, but I hope that I will be able to join the conversation.

It was almost as if she brought along a bit of Kuwaitan heat to cold Berlin. :-) Heike I had the pleasure of meeting Buth in Berlin and I enjoyed her naturalness,
