I read somewhere that there are some great Esperanto resources online.
But as usual on the internet its really hard to separate the wheat from the chaff (hope I'm using this expression correctly.. :-) If any of the Esperanto learners have a few seconds, would you mind summarising the REALLY WORTHWHILE Esperanto links for me? (I am a complete beginner and want to check it out because I believe in the ideology behind Esperanto) Edited by cordelia0507 on 27 July 2009 at 8:15pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I think www.lernu.net is pretty cool.

Lernu is an excellent starting place. They have numerous free courses for
beginners and intermediate level users of the language. I think you can even get a tutor for some of the courses to correct your work and get feedback/help in learning the language. In addition to the courses section, there are some great resources in the learning section (including thematic vocabulary groupings with flash card style drills and a surprisingly useful picture dictionary). Also there's a very friendly forum with a lot of people eager to help newbies, answer questions, etc... Lernu also has a pretty good Dictionary, but another, probably more comprehensive, online dictionary can be found here You can find an interesting apology for Esperanto here There's also a nice, free computer program for windows and linux which has some nice drills for some of the more challenging aspects of the language (like the accusative -n ending) available here Here you can find a very good (old but still good) textbook designed to teach esperanto. And you find find a solutions manual to the exercises for the above textbook here Here is a nice CD (mp3's actually) you can use for listening comprehension. And Here is a CD you can download to get a good grounding in how the language is pronounced Here's a small collection of free esperanto literature available online. If you study Esperanto diligently for a month or two, you'll be surprised at how accessible a lot of Esperanto literature will be to you (you'll be able to read just about anything if you have a dictionary handy). here Hope that's useful :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thank you, Awake, for those links. Lernu automatically comes up as a home page when I log on to the Internet but I wasn't aware of some of the other links.

You're both welcome :) Here are a few more links that may be of interest when you're at a bit higher level in the
language. Here is a link to a pdf file of PMEG, the "Plena Manlibro de Esperanto Gramatiko" (Complete Handbook of Esperanto Grammar). It's written completely in Esperanto (though in very simple, straightforward Esperanto). For most esperantists, this is the go to book for answering questions about the language. Also useful, and interesting, are the Lingvaj Respondoj (Language Answers) written by Dr. Zamenhof himself as answers to some questions that came up about the language in its early days. They can be found here There are other Esperanto podcasts, of course, but probably the most popular is Radio Verda A nice video course (immersion style, like French in Action - though quite a bit more silly) is available on Youtube here Here are some works of a well known Esperanto Author And there's a collection of Esperanto Music available for purchase (with many free samples) available here 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I found lernu.net a great resource. Not only does it have a dictionary and great lessons, but you can connect with other Esperanto speakers around the world. I had an Esperanto penpal for a while. It was great!
