What does the speaker say about Chinese?

(W: )Don’ t you think the world would be an easier place to live in, if we all spoke the same language? There are thousands of different languages spoken around the globe, so it’ s no wonder we have such difficulties understanding one another. If you were going to choose a language which everyone in the world would learn, which would you choose? Chinese is spoken by more people than any other language, and English has already been selected as the international language of business and science. Many other people have tried to find an answer to this problem. One of them was Dr. Zamenhoff, a Polish word expert. In 1887, he introduced Esperanto, a totally new language to the world. Thousands of people took it seriously and began to learn to speak it. Today, Esperanto is still spoken by eight million people around the world, and it is a language accepted by the post office. So if you address a letter in Esperanto, it will get to the correct place.
