Introduction
Learn Esperanto the natural way.
This course is based on
La Ekzercaro (**).
La
Fundamento de Esperanto(**)
(= The Foundation of Esperanto), includes La
Ekzercaro).
It
is the
first document, which described the language "Esperanto",
written by
Zamenhof.
That document was edited on July 26, 1887 in Russian, then later in French, English, German and
Polish.
It was directed at educated people, which had a good knowledge
of the
grammar of their own language, and maybe, of one or more
languages - as
it should be your case.
Based on this document, the language spread out.
Even if Esperanto considerably evolved since then, this document
is considered the only obligatory authority over Esperanto(**) and is thus unchangeable.
"La Fundamento" consists of
four parts(**)
- a Foreword
- a grammar
- a collection of exercises
- a universal
dictionary
In this course, you will get acquainted with the Grammar. In the Exercises you will learn a few words, but
If you want to speak fluently, you'll have to learn more vocabuary.
Go on with the Vocabulary(**).
Don't attempt to understand
every detail of the grammar right away: it's the
purpose of the Exercises, to enable you to better
understand the
somewhat sketchy rules.
You should be capable of
finding out
the grammar rules by yourself, based
on the Exercises. This is the most natural
way to learn a language. If
you cannot figure out a rule, just leave a note to yourself and
come back to
it a few days later. If
you do not find a satisfactory explanation by yourself, send
a message to the newsgroup soc.culture.esperanto.
After some time, depending on your diligence,
your brain will become
accustomed to the subtleties of the language, and you will be
able to turn to a more difficult task.
You might find it useful to dowload "The Esperanto
Teacher"(**)
(by Helen Fryerd) and print it.
I advise going to
start with the 5th exercise of the EKZERCARO. (*) Read and try to translate the text, and don't
hesitate to check your memorization by hitting the icon
at the bottom to launch the program.
It may be useful to do the "test lesson"(*) before
proceeding with a lesson from the Exercises(*).
