They see an adult model the learning behavioor, which is the strongest way to teach. Spanish had been introduced for two years in our elementary schools, but due to lack of funds to pay a Spanish teacher the program had to be dropped. Esperanto is not a high budget curricular item and is immediately accessible to any teacher. So, of course, Esperanto will again be offered as an enrichment seminar in our schools. The interest has been overwhelming in the past and probably stimulated the interest in having the Spanish foreign language program started.
Any interested teacher can introduce the language.
The support from the Esperanto League for North America has been unflagging and tremendous. The curricular materials were great and inexpensive. In fact, the response from around the world was unbelievable. It seems to me that the only real thing keeping people from knowing more about each other is the lack of common language.
