<PRE> I learned thanks to this mail that there is Esperanto language.  I read
some information about this language at google and I found very interesting
history of Esperanto language.

So, thank you ver much Michael for this interesting and nice mail.

</I>&gt;<i> own rules and words from neighbour countries (Italy, Austria, Hungary
</I>&gt;<i> and Croatia) so it's a big challenge to understand them fully.

</I>&gt;<i> So our language is quite hard to learn well and we're also small
</I>&gt;<i> country (only 2 millions). But that doesn't stop some people from
