Does anybody know of any learning material for this? Is there anything like an assimil or michel thomas method to this, or just a good course for learning it somewhere?

Forget Assimil, it's so outdated (I don't know if there's an English version).. Try Kurso de Esperanto. There are lots of free learning materials to be found on Esperanto websites; Google's your friend.

Lernu! at http://en.lernu.net/ is the best online program I have found. There are stacks of pdf and mp3 files to download. In fact, you can run the whole program off line including a dictionary where you simply click on the word you want translated.
I wish there were similar programs for other languages. There are plenty of sites offering instruction. Try Lernu! first, subscribe to their word for the day, check out their information and pen friends and use it with some of the other free online courses. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Another good place is ELNA (The Esperanto League for North America) ELNA be sure to check out their bookstore. The book by David Richardson, Esperanto: Learning and Using the International Language is a very highly regarded (and inexpensive) introduction to the language. In addition to that ELNA offers a free 10 lesson postal course which is also available over the internet. You'll be assigned a tutor that will help you through the course, It's pretty basic (limited vocabulary) but it covers most of the essential grammar points. It's also free which helps :). here ---------------------------------------------------- The EAB (Esperanto Association of Britain) also has some good stuff (and a couple of good freebies) at EAB The Jen Nia Mondo CD's listed there (also available from ELNA and audioforum) are pimsleuresque and quite good, but I wouldnt try to tackle them until I had at least gone through the 10 lesson postal course and maybe even some of the more advanced courses/books available. Hope that helps :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I haven't really used it but Teach Yourself Esperanto seems to be quite good. The actors in the audio material (which itself can be hard to find; PM me if you have trouble getting hold of the cassette) have strong English accents though - I prefer Italian or Spanish accents.

The Teach Yourself Esperanto series is indeed an excellent and reasonably
complete introduction to the language for English speakers. Unfortunately, it is now out of print. Editions of the most recent version can still be found, but often the prices for them are insanely high. but if you can find a copy at a good price, it's a great resource.
