A truly International Auxiliary Language must be easy to learn for motivated people everywhere. It must not become a merely holiday language for comfortable westerners. It must be easy for the Third World Villager as well as for western scientist and poet. Just such a language is Glosa, which simplifies, improves and economizes international communication. Glosa is the ideal oral complement to the electronic Information Technology Revolution. All the old languages face the student with lists of frightfully strange-looking words, which have to be thoroughly memorized plus a complex Grammar. In contrast, all Glosa words are already internationally familiar and in lively daily use not only in Europe but everywhere modern Medicine and Science penetrate. The late Prof. Lancelot Hogben pointed out that "The world-wide vocabulary of Science is the nearest thing to the lexicon of a truly Global Language that Mankind has yet achieved. It derives its words from two dead languages - Latin and now, almost exclusively Greek." Although Glosa has a very large Mega Vocabulary, its heart, its centre consists of only 1000 words which can easily cope with any kind of intelligent conversation accurately and euphoniously.
