I just published some exercises designed to help you master Esperanto affixes on my blog: http://www.learnlangs.com/blog/2009/12/30/practise-esperanto -affixes/ .
Mastering the affixes is the key to understanding and speaking Esperanto fluently, as the affixes are very wide-spread and they help you wiggle out of a lot of vocabulary trouble and even some grammar issues. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I strongly recommend these exercises. They were a huge part of how I became comfortable in Esperanto. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

What really messes with my passive understanding is the usage of suffixes as individual words, especially when they then have their own suffixes added on. After reading through and understanding all of the dialogs from KEK, I don't really have any problems understanding the suffixes as used normally. It was quite a good set of lessons.
When speaking, I think one of my biggest problems so far is accidentally inserting Spanish words when I encounter a new root that I want to use. I commonly feel a hesitation where I have to decide whether the word I'm about to say is Esperanto or Spanish in origin. At least I seem to have stopped saying "es" instead of "estas" in some situations. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

How often do you guys use Esperanto? How do you find a speaker of it besides the internet?
I've always loved the idea of Esperanto, I just wondered if I could readily use it :D -Jordan 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I actually just joined a facebook group about Esperanto, and noticed that one of my acquaintances was listed in it too. I just sent him a message and we're going to meet up to chat in Esperanto. There's also an email list for Esperantists in my city, so I've emailed that to see if there are any meetings. Coincidentally, the Esperanto podcast "Radio Verda" is done by two people from here in Vancouver as well, so I'd like to meet them at some point. I know there are several other people I've met here in Vancouver over the years who speak Esperanto, but I don't have any current way to contact them.
Later this year I'm planning to do some traveling in Europe, so I'm going to try to use the Esperanto Servo list to find some accommodations with other Esperantists while I travel. I'm planning to go to some larger Esperanto events, like the "Summer Esperanto Study" in Slovakia, and possibly the Universala Kongreso (the biggest yearly event) if I decide I can afford flying to Cuba. If you live near a major city, there are probably some people there who speak it. 1 person has voted this message useful |
