Why wouldn't we try to make place for a common language in Europe?

0:00:03.650,0:00:06.565
And if you look around in the world, the language of today would be English.

0:00:06.657,0:00:10.640
And it looks like it will stay that way in the forseeable future as well.

0:00:10.640,0:00:14.160
With his proposal to introduce English as the second language in Flemish education

0:00:14.160,0:00:17.763
Minister Smet didn't just stun (prime minister) Kris Peeters.

0:00:17.763,0:00:22.320
However, one could argue English would be a language of unity within the Babylonian Europe

0:00:22.320,0:00:24.960
But there's still an ideal alternative Smet hasn't considered:

0:00:24.975,0:00:26.123
Esperanto

0:00:26.154,0:00:30.674
An artificial language that kan be learned very easily and doesn't and doesn't favour anyone over anyone else.

0:00:30.674,0:00:38.862
Today, convinced Esperantist universally argue for their "lingua franca"

0:00:39.938,0:00:46.545
When I heard English would be made the European language, I was startled, quite honestly

0:00:46.622,0:00:53.200
I heard and read about it and it was like a bomb.

0:00:53.292,0:01:00.249
English is popular ... So I could imagine why the minister would think that

0:01:00.311,0:01:05.938
if he introduces English as the second language, he would make himself popular

0:01:05.985,0:01:13.882
I'm convinced that there's a languages that's more suited for that, namely "Esperanto"

0:01:23.436,0:01:31.858
Esperanto gives us an infinite spectrum of possibilities to solve language conundrums quickly and efficiently

0:01:31.905,0:01:33.560
Everything can be named easily

0:01:33.560,0:01:35.179
That's a cushion.

0:01:35.179,0:01:37.176
That's a seat.

0:01:37.176,0:01:38.671
That's a table. That's a plant.

0:01:38.717,0:01:44.188
I'd say it's a very rich language. One can say anything and everything in Esperanto.

0:01:44.188,0:01:50.690
Ah Eddy. Hey, I decided to ring you to ask wether you're free at the moment?

0:01:50.690,0:01:56.135
I speak Esperanto with my husband every day and we met at an Esperanto congress

0:01:56.182,0:02:00.560
It was our common language and it stays untill this day

0:02:00.760,0:02:02.536
I don't even notice it anymore.

0:02:02.597,0:02:06.160
In my experience it's just the language I share with him

0:02:06.160,0:02:12.289
Good afternoon, how are you doing? Is everything going well? Certainly, thank you!

0:02:18.628,0:02:24.505
Yes, I go over to my neighbour quite often, because I need a variety of things.

0:02:24.582,0:02:28.564
For example an egg or sugar.

0:02:28.626,0:02:32.172
And my jelly I get there as well.

0:02:32.218,0:02:34.441
- And does that happen in Esperanto?

0:02:34.487,0:02:41.606
Yes ... We often speak Esperanto together, it is a great exercise to not forget the language

0:02:41.668,0:02:46.600
I just made my shopping list and I automatically write them in Esperanto.

0:02:46.600,0:02:53.588
So for example I wrote tomatoj (tomatoes), kukumo (cucumber), laktuko (lettuce).

0:02:53.635,0:02:59.931
I was ill for one day ... -but ...

0:02:59.931,0:03:01.332
but

0:03:01.409,0:03:04.200
What are you saying?

0:03:04.200,0:03:13.003
She went on a trip to Moscow, but it wasn't the first time that whe encountered a problem or accident of some sort during her travels

0:03:13.111,0:03:16.160
No, I'll give it back tomorrow!

0:03:16.160,0:03:17.757
Don't forget :-)

0:03:17.818,0:03:19.729
I hope I won't forget.

0:03:19.812,0:03:29.829
Minister Smet should think about which language he wants to leave our children as the European language.

0:03:30.013,0:03:34.247
And Esperanto is the only truely international language.
