Esperanto


My great grandfather, Robert Pohl, taught esperanto on the Isle of Mann after he fled Germany during WWII (he was ancestrally jewish though quaker by practice, if anything). I feel like I owe it to him to post this link to the first esperanto television channel. I didn't even know it was still kicking around anywhere.
