Unfortunately I don't think it will be possible for everybody to start speaking Esperanto. Languages grow as people use them and almost nobody is currently using Esperanto  |
The problem with Esperanto is that it's an artificial language. It's not a mother tongue that children learn while they grow up.
The only way that it would get recognized if 'somebody' would indeed declare it the World's language and implement it in every country as the default second language. But that will probably never happen ...
