I believe that the practitioners will say that it will achieve its goal. On the other hand those that do not use it will claim it as failing.
It comes.down to perspective and where you stand and if you are willing to look at the issue from different angles.
I suggest getting involved in a few lessons, then a few more to get a real taste of the subject. I could describe how a peach tastes... I would rather hand you one to try for yourself, then we can discuss it 😉
JNovi is not my real name. You may quote me if you like.

The famous swiss esperantist Claude Piron wrote in a study in French that Esperanto's success, according to Zamenhof himself, would happen if the following declaration comes true: "Que chaque personne ayant appris la langue puisse l’utiliser pour communiquer avec des personnes d’autres nations, que cette langue soit ou non adoptée dans le monde entier, qu’elle ait ou non beaucoup d’usagers" (=That every single person that learned the language [Esperanto] can use it in order to communicate with people from other nations, wheter if the language is not widely adopted and wheter if it does not have many speakers). So according to this quotation from Zamenhof (Piron is based on Zamenhof's Jezyk Miedzynarodowy), Esperanto is a success.

Although I'm esperantist for more than 40 years, this book has taught me a lot of things.

sudanglo:The most likely circumstances that will prevent Esperanto reaching its full potential (la fina venko) is the widespread use of hand-held devices that machine-translate in real time (or with a delay sufficiently small to not inhibit conversation). People are lazy!Alifadene, la samideano Nornen klarigis tial, kial tia solvo ne funkcios tutmonde.

I wonder how the OP did in the class? They might have even graduated by now.
No thanks to us, though, as far as I can tell.
