Current status:
Ana Pana 6-7 Ek 13-14 2462 Anki cards. I hope I'll have time to take Nivelo A this week (I can do it whenever I want since it's online, but it should feel good to have it done). I generally use Esperanto when I correspond with my teacher/language helper. Seeing that there are so much free content online (ebooks, articles, audio and more) makes me want to dive into the Esperanto "ocean" NOW. That's a great feeling. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Go you! It's never too early to explore Esperanto culture. Browse Farbskatol', check out
Esperanto music on Youtube and Ipernity, download some movies from Verda Filmejo... "Gerda Malaperis" is often recommended as first literature for beginners, but it was designed as a coursebook more than as a piece of literature and I found the repetition annoying, also in the movie made of it. What I really enjoyed was "Fajron sentas mi interne", and it's more suitable for novice Esperanto speakers than many other works of literature because it uses only word roots from the Baza Radikaro. I also enjoyed "Vojaĝo en Esperantolando" as a continuing course / cultural course giving examples of various authors and other background info on the movado.

The number of Anki cards you have is inspiring. I'm busy filling mine with Swedish, but I'll get back to Esperanto eventually. Hopefully after spending a week of Esperanto in Piestany and then another week in Herzberg am Harz, I'll catch up to your level somewhat before I get to Sweden ;)

I'll probably continue with Ana renkontas and Gerda malaperis (since I've studied them before) and today I found ONE book in Esperanto at our library ("Emilo en Smolando" by Astrid Lindgren; PDF version here), and will use it as reading material for the next few days.
I've added most (all?) of the vocabulary and sentences I've encountered so far, except the Ek! course (right now I find it too time-consuming to type). 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Summary of 2010:
Some of the books are about Esperanto (and related topics), though not in the language itself. "Systematisk kurs i Esperanto"/"Sistema kurso di Esperanto" (Seppik-Malmgren) "Native Esperanto as a Test Case for Natural Language" (by Jouko Lindstedt) "Emilo en Smolando" (by Astrid Lindgren) - I read this several times to get a feel for the language "Ek! : självinstruerande lärobok i esperanto" (by Herman Behrmann) "The Artificial Language Movement" (by Andrew Large) "Esperanto: language, literature, and community" (by Pierre Janton) Spreadsheet stats: Listening: 3,5 hours Reading: 9,5 hours Analysis: 33,75 hours Total: 46,75 hours Average: 8 minutes/day The final exam of my course consisted of four parts: 1) "Lingva ekzameno, nivelo A" 2) "Mallonga letero" 3) A short essay on a topic 4) Telephone conversation with our teacher (15-20 minutes) I took the Lingvoekzameno the first time back in 2007 (during the first 6WC) and failed. At the time of my second attempt in 2010, I wasn't in the mood at all (I had been awake since morning the day before and was not in good shape mentally), but decided to give it chance. The time limit was 50 minutes, I was finished after 20, skimmed through it once more and when I submitted the test (after 34 minutes) I saw the result: 50 points out of 50. That felt good. After some 30-40 hours of study (from January to late May) I was quite amazed that I could keep a phone conversation going for as long as a quarter of an hour. 3632 Anki cards.

Summary of 2011:
Both are about Esperanto (and related topics), though not in the language themselves. "Esperanto" (Lars Forsman) "Esperanto" (Bertil Nilsson) According to my spreadsheet stats I've read in Esperanto for one impressive hour - there were some texts in one of the books above. Not much studying, obviously, but I bought some second-hand books: "Gaja knabo" (Björnstjerne Björnson) "Esperanto - alla andras språk" (Malmgren) "Gösta Berling" (Selma Lagerlöf) Now I've regained the interest in the language and look forward to my statistics (and skills) by the end of 2012. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Time for a brief update of what is going on with my Esperanto.
At the end of April/beginning of May, I decided to have a new go. I got some inspiration from Benny's teaching mission/Lauren's 6WC, and I also thought it was about time to brush up my lousy Esperanto since I was going to the Polyglot Gathering in mid-June. So what did I do? I started reading La Sankta Biblio, for about 15 minutes each time. This usually meant three chapters per session. I also started doing Jen nia IJK lessons at Lernu.net. Mostly one at a time, sometimes two depending on the length. I added words and sentences to Anki. By the end of June, I had finished the twelve Jen nia IJK lessons and read the first 43 chapters (verses?) of Genesis. But most importantly - spoken Esperanto at the Gathering with very proficient speakers such as Sprachprofi, Fasulye and Volte (all from HTLAL fame!). I also attended the Q&A session with native speaker Gavan Fantom, the 6WC talks and listened to Chuck Smith reading La Verda Stelo on the final evening in Berlin. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
