One year of Esperanto should be compulsory in all schools.
"Many schools used to teach children the recorder, not to produce a nation of recorder players, but as a preparation for learning other instruments. [We teach] Esperanto, not to produce a nation of Esperanto-speakers, but as a preparation for learning other languages."

"A child can learn as much Esperanto in about 6 months as he would French in 3-4 years... if all children studied Esperanto during the first 6-12 months of a 4-5 year French course, they would gain much and lose nothing."
"...the unchallenged superiority in the ability to use German achieved by the students who had studied Esperanto was observed."
"Esperanto is the right language as a basis for those who plan on studying other foreign languages."
Diskutu.
