Start Learning Esperanto

Esperanto is a planned international language that is fun and very easy to learn. It is spoken throughout the world by hundreds of thousands of people like you, who have invested in themselves by studying Esperanto.

Esperanto is phonetic, regular, and beautifully designed, making it easy to get started. Many people have learned it from book (such as Esperanto: Learning and Using the
International Language) at home before ever meeting anyone else who spoke it. The website lernu.net offers an online dictionary, online flashcards and quizzes, and a community of thousands of users. A modern, 16-hour video course on DVD is a great resource. You might wish to contact someone close to where you live by using our list of local clubs.

This community is sponsored by ELNA, the Esperanto League of North America, an educational non-profit organization. Joining ELNA gives you a discount on over a thousand Esperanto books, audiobooks and other wares. It also gives you the satisfaction of supporting Esperanto in the USA, and the ability to create blog at this site.

If you are a blogger or a writer interested in the language issues, consider participating in Esperanto Day December 15th, and perhaps having one of your works translated into Esperanto.
