A few at a time... 20 months ago

I got an idea, I will choose one word (or a small set of words) a day, and use it in my daily conversation, in order to learn it. (Vocab is the hardest part, Esperanto grammar is easy-peasy.) Today was “dankon”, meaning, “thank you” (a very useful phrase!). Tomorrow will be the seasons (la sezonoj): printempo, somero, aŭtuno, kaj vintro!
