The card goes on to provide a brief overview of Esperanto's grammar, emphasizing its simplicity and regularity. It notes that Esperanto has a standardized spelling system and a consistent set of rules for accentuation. The card then delves into the structure of Esperanto, explaining that it has eight parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, pronouns, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. It also mentions that Esperanto has a rich vocabulary, derived from various European languages, and that it is easy to learn as it follows logical rules. The postcard concludes by inviting the viewer to learn more about Esperanto and its creator, L. L. Zamenhof. This fascinating artifact not only provides a historical snapshot of Esperanto in the 1920s but also underscores the enduring appeal of this unique language, which continues to bring people together across linguistic and cultural boundaries.
