Summary: what is it?

Can someone please explain what Esperanto is?  I've never heard of it
until just this week.  If it's as widespread as I gather it is from the
recent posting about it, I might give learning it a shot.  But not right
away, though..  I'm having enough trouble relearning Spanish and learning
ASL at the same time.  What's ASL you ask?  American Sign Language.  Note
that this is a language in itself, NOT English on the hands.  I.e., it has
it's own grammer and structure, signs that convey concepts that don't have
an exact English equivalent, etc.  I may be taking German soon to.  To
bad they don't offer French here.  That's another language I'd like to
learn.  *sigh*

Guess what else ?  Surprise!  I'm an American! 8-]
