learn esperanto

I want to learn Esperanto to a good level of conversational fluency for fun and to meet other Esperantists. Why not? :)

it’s really not a productive goal for me, although I love the language and still want to learn it. Maybe just not now. I should learn Spanish.

Ok… got the which one down, and the how… Now to begin.

lernu! is a multilingual website which aims to inform internet users about Esperanto and help them to learn it, easily and free of charge.

Esperanto is a living language very suitable for international communication.

It’s like having a tutor in my own home answering all my questions….

I’m curious to find out more info on learning this language. Could it really be the worlds easiest to learn? Could it possibly help one to learn a third language with better ease? Interesting…

What is Esperanto? – Esperanto is a language that was created for people communicating with other people who speak different native languages. It is politically neutral, saves money, international, fun and easy to learn.

Why use Esperanto? – Esperanto is used by millions of people to make friends, learn about other cultures and travel. It can also be used in business to save translation costs, get the latest International News and learn International trends. Esperanto solves international communications problems.

Any second language makes learning a third easier because you acquire a feel for the differences that other languages might have.

ESPERANTO is the worlds easiest language to learn and it demonstrates linguistic principles better than most, but more importantly, you can learn Esperanto in months instead of years for any other tongue.

ESPERANTO is the worlds easiest language and now I find I understand English better (my native tongue) and I’m in a better position to learn more languages.
ESPERANTO is designed such that you MUST understand sentence structure, which helps to understand other languages. It has 16 grammatical rules… with NO EXCEPTIONS!

Learning from lernu.net. Really good site and it’s free too n_n

I joined Lernu and have done some of the earlier exercises:

Saluton!
Mi estas Euan.
Kiel vi fartas?
Tre bone!

That’s pretty much all for now, but it’s a good start!

Euan

I’ve completed several courses at lernu.net including…
Mi estas komencanto de Esperanto (audio)
La puzlo Esperanto
Voyagxu kun Zam
Bildoj kaj Demandoj
Ana Pana
and I’m currently studying Ana renkontas.

Also, I’m keeping an Esperanto blog about my progress, doing Esperanto crosswords and some reading. Also, I put an announcement out through an Esperanto site, and I already have 2 Esperanto penpals!

I joined Esperanto-USA at the beginning of March or the end of Feb. I’ve been doing the 10-lesson postal course, I have Richardsons book and I downloaded Kurso De Esperanto.

I wish there was a more clear cut curriculum for Esperanto learners. Maybe I’ll make one myself as I find it confusing and a bit difficult to juggle the three resources. It seems that Richardsons is the best course I have at this time, but I haven’t gotten very far in any of the three courses.

Kurso d Esperanto = Lesson 2
Free 10-Postal = Lesson 3
Richardsons = Lesson 4

Last Friday I started an online course on Lernu.net called “Mi estas komencanto.” At a lesson a day, today I completed lesson 7.
I downloaded some Esperanto music and a Polish-Esperanto podcast. After this course, I will progress to the next course suggested and so on. Hopefully, in a few months, I’ll be able to mark this goal completed!
