My time was three weeks in San Diego. I was a post beginner Esperantist, finishing the
E.L.N.A. postal course in four days before going to the program. Listening comprehension intermediate and speaking was beginner, but very nervous speaking and it seemed lower, than I thought. The experience was great, as the person who I stayed with for one day before the program was part of Pasporta Servo. She was patient with my Esperanto. I hit my stride in one week and conversing regularly. I did a lot of work into it, as like all things that is what it takes. I started to become more creative when I had to describe myself. Three hours of class Monday to Friday. Optional excursions and presentations. The language lab had other Esperanto books and I was shadowing and speaking "Jen Nia Mondo" over and over on my own time. After the three weeks, I really felt there was no way any other language, a person could be conversational compared to Esperanto. There were other students in my post beginner class, that struggled, so each individual varied. I was going to write about it, but I stopped Esperanto when I came back to Canada later that year. I believe I hit basic fluency, but maintenance is difficult. I am relearning it again and this time using this entire year to solidify and strengthen everything. At the time if you are a student or teacher, you can receive a discount with a scholarship. There were no options for 1 or 2 weeks back then. I prefer the longer the better for practice. It is much easier this time, as I have basic fluency in Spanish and conversational in Brazilian Portuguese. I enjoyed it and do recommend the program. I just found a site with links to other Esperanto Radio from different countries. I am listening to the Chinese, Russian and Polish radios. Here 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Ukrainian itself sounds significantly different than Russian. It might result in accent in Esperanto. Ukrainians do not unvoice consonants before voiceless consonants (which is allowed in Espearnto), so they do not pronounce bs as ps, they do not confuse unstressed a and o (which is typical for Russians). In the link given by alang there is Russian radio in Esperanto, the woman speaks with a typical Russian accent while the man, who is speaking at the beginning, has a less caracteristic accent.

Muzaiko it's a 24h internet radio which can help you quite a lot with the pronounciation. If you are able to guess where the speaker come from... then there's an accent there. But it doesn't really matter how you say the r... as far as you are understood. Muzaiko estas 24hora retradio kiu ja povas vin helpi por la elprononco. Se vi sukcesas diveni la devenon de parolanton... estas io misa tie. Sed ne gravas kiel vi elparolas la ron, se vi kompreneblas. 
But Mazi en Gondolando it's the best for learning: Sed Mazi en Gondolando estas la plej bona lernilo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWbyXVSiCxw Esperanto prononciation Esperanta prononco http://mindprod.com/esperanto/esounds.html Edited by Alekso on 15 April 2013 at 12:54pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
