Jonatano:I'm just curious as a response to the idea that English is the global language. Thanks.I know a fair few. Every time I make a video in English on my channel without Esperanto subtitles I'll get a fair few complaints of "I don't understand English why are there no subtitles?".

Jonatano:I'm just curious as a response to the idea that English is the global language. Thanks.I can think of one Li, who spoke Mandarin and Esperanto. Her English skills were non-existent.
Then there is Boris from Russia, who speaks Russian, French and Esperanto, but no English. But he recently proposed that he could help me in Russian if I assist him in his English studies.
Also, there is one Diana, who speaks Russian, Esperanto and a little Hindi. We have been in contact for more than 2 years, but I have never seen her speak even a word of English.
A policeman from China comes to mind. Also a stay-at-home mother. Hey! How can I forget a lady from South Korea! I confess that she is trying hard to learn English, but when we met some three or four years ago, she spoke only fluent Korean and Esperanto.
I am sure if I think over it, I can come up with the names of at least 10 people who speak Esperanto but little or no English.
So yeah!

Jonatano:I'm just curious as a response to the idea that English is the global language. Thanks.I know quite some who speak Esperanto fluently and can't communicate in English. And I know a lot of people who speak English fairly well and Esperanto far better.
