   Here's another way of addressing the subject of this thread:
   How many Esperantists do not speak English?  If a prospective student just
   wants to be proficient in an IAL, will he/she really get any use out of
   Esperanto that cannot be better obtained from English?

Several people who post often to s.c.e in both languages are much easier to
understand in Esperanto than in English.  I would rather read their ideas in a
language in which they can express themselves clearly.

Kelkaj personoj kiuj afis^as ofte al s.c.e en ambau^ lingvoj estas pli facile
komprenebla en la Esperanta ol la Angla.  Mi preferas legi iliajn pensojn en
lingvo en kio ili povas esprimi klare sin.
