[07:44.67]where people spoke several different languages.

[07:53.63]from understanding each other and living peacefully together.
[07:58.80]He wished that everyone
[08:02.09]in his part of Poland spoke the same language.
[08:07.08]In fact,he believe that if everyone spoke a common language,
[08:13.09]peace could result throughout the world
[08:16.98]That is why he gave the world a new language
[08:21.58]He called it"Esperanto"
[08:25.18]which means,in his language "one who hopes."

[09:13.64]not Esperanto,is the second language.
