I am teaching myself Esperanto and I am only a couple of hours into the study. I am using 'Kurso de Esperanto' and
I am on lesson 3, but I am just recapping lesson 1, 2 and 3.

I can say basic things such as ''Saluton, mia nomo estas Anna. Mi logxas en Anglio.'' I am attempting a putting at
sentence or two together. But I am not sure how to go about learning it. I am only 14, so I haven't had any
experience in learning a second language. Well, apart from school, but those years I have "learnt" French in school,
are pretty much pointless. Could someone please point me into the right direction. I have been looking at
Lernu.net and I am starting to use that. Any other tips suggested? I have been looking through the forum, but I am
getting quite confused...

I am looking at Esperanto to see how I can cope with learning an international auxiliary language, before trying to
tackle Italian or German...

I have about 1.5 - 2 hours of spare time after school, one I have finished after school activities and homework. So
any information would helpful and greatly appreciated.

Thankyou!

I did Ana Pana on lernu (it's a correspondence course, you choose a tutor from a drop down menu) and then the next course in the series, I think it's called Ana Rekontras.

I think that would be a good start.

You may also want to look for The Esperanto Teacher and Esperanto for Non-grammarians, two public domain books that are over 90 years old, and The Esperanto Teacher has audio on Librivox.

Check out this thread: Online Esperanto Courses for Beginners

There are a lot of experienced Esperentists on the forum, so I'm sure someone will be able to recommend a course to your liking. The good thing is that there are plenty of free online resources for Esperanto, so you shouldn't have to buy any books unless you want to.

Good luck.

I've written a bit about my studies in my Esperanto log here on the forum. You might find that helpful.
