Ma¯ lamalama 3 CORRESPONDENCE

Enthusing over Esperanto I have found in your beautiful Ma¯lamalama the note “Language out of the mouths of babes” (Jan. 2002). Congratulations to UH linguist Benjamin Bergen for giving Esperanto a chance. Usually we find many linguists looking at Esperanto with prejudice, unacceptable from people with such a science background. The citizens hope scien- tists (will be sure) to check, to see, to experiment, to try before presenting an opinion. Dr. Bergen has done it. Indeed there are many children around the world, who are growing with Esperanto as a second language. There is no case—as well as no reason—to be educated only in Esperanto. There is always the local medium and at least one local language for those families (mostly two or even three). Esperanto is for them a second language, in that Mauna Kea Astronomy Education one can get many contacts around the world. But those Center takes rapid strides children, and also the adults who learn this language at H Hilo astronomy and Hawaiian language faculty any age, can easily have it as a second language.

Here they answer questions about the process. What is branding and what does it have to do with a university? When constituents of a university ask any of the following questions, it is the brand they are concerned with—What does the institution stand for? What are its values, attributes, capabilities and strengths? What expectations does its name evoke? What value does it deliver? Often confused with logos, names and taglines, a brand is actually the promise that you make to your customer, a bond based on values that helps cement your relationship. Logos, names, etc. represent your 2002 Regents’ Medal brand identity.
