Quite a while ago, I surfed through Esperanto for about a week or so and then it sort of dropped off, while I focused more on other languages. Yesterday, while skimming through this forum, I just had the inclination to start with Esperanto again. Boy, did I start!
Yesterday evening I started Lernu's Bildoj kaj demandoj, and I have finished the entire course, as well as first two lessions of Kurso de Esperanto.
I don't by any means remember all of it, and I have no doubt that I will need plenty of practice to be able to accurately build sentences and such. However, it was great rush completing this course in such a short time while retaining a great deal of information. I certainly have not been able to do that with German.
I know few people on this forum have mentioned that learning Esperanto could get quite addictive because of its apparent ease. This time I intend to stick to it, along with Italian and German. :)
Looking forward to completing Kurso de Esperanto and more lernu courses.

Go you!
I am not particularly fond of the "Kurso de Esperanto" because it teaches a lot of useless sentences and it doesn't teach much in terms of conversation. Lernu's "Ana Pana", and the extension "Ana Renkontas" is more to my liking. The best course to get your Esperanto up to speed quickly though is this correspondence course by the German Esperanto Youth.

Sprachprofi,
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, my German isn't good enough to study Esperanto with it.
I intend to move on Ana Pana eventually. Actually I have decided to go through all the courses on Lernu, and do the ones I like. I tried La Puzlo but found the format boring so didn't bother. I have worked with Ana Pana before in my previous attempt, so I know I would enjoy it.
I found Bildoj good beginning to get into the language again.
By the way, I found your many posts in favour of Esperanto quite illuminating.
