My own personal take on Prof. Althouse's vow of cruel neutrality.
I see that Barack Obama's education policy is that everyone should learn a foreign language, but which one should it be?The British learn French, the Australians study Japanese, and the Americans prefer Spanish.Yet this leaves Mandarin Chinese out of the equation.Interestingly nine British MP's have nominated Esperanto for the Nobel Peace Prize 2008.An interesting video can be seen at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8837438938991452670Otherwise http://www.lernu.net ?
