se iu konas pli bonan tradukon por "fam" bonvolu sciigi min, mi pensas ke "amiko" estas plej simila. mi lernis pri "mdr" kreante ĉi tion!

I need to get back into learning Esperanto but I refuse to redownload Duolingo. I know apparently Lernu is the best site but it was glitching last time I used it and idk if it works on mobile. Does anyone know if there's any other language learning apps that offer Esperanto (preferably ones that also have a desktop site)? Or should I just suck it up and use Lernu?

Langblr activation challenge - Week 4 - Original content - How I taught myself  Esperanto

1. Learn the basic grammar rules. There aren’t many, they are very regular and very simple. I enjoyed this youtube channel. 

2. Get some vocabulary! I enjoyed starting off with the duolingo course. After that, I read the story “La teorio Nakamura” at Lernu to boost my reading comprehension and learn even more vocabulary. 

3. Time for some immersion! At this stage, understanding spoken Esperanto was still pretty difficult. However, watching videos in Esperanto with subtitles in Esperanto was very effective to me to get used to the flow and the phonetics of the language. I found this playlist with YouTube videos that are both spoken in Esperanto along with subtitles. As soon as you can, stop using subtitles. Tubaro is a great tool to help you find YouTube videos in Esperanto. 

4. Join a local Esperanto Group! There might be one closer to you than you think. Many speakers of Esperanto are seniors, and they are thrilled when younger people show up to their meetings. You make so many connections. I can travel almost wherever I want thanks to Esperanto. 

Other great tools:

Tujavortaro - The best dictionary I’ve found. 

Tatoeba - Search for a word and get example sentences.

Prepositions in Esperanto

Spotify playlist with 1400+ songs in Esperanto

Eklernu!

lernu! beginners’ Esperanto lessons are a bit more... interesting... than other beginners’ language lessons I’ve seen

Why learn the words for “bus” or “train” when you could learn the word for “time machine”

Lernu! is an excellent resource and I'm happy it's available for free BUT the lesson which introduces the -in- suffix is pretty gender essentialist. like I know Esperanto was created in 1887 but that doesn't mean we need to have a concept of gender from 1887.

If you are learning Esperanto I beg of you to use Lernu ... the story alone makes it more fun to learn, and well... the accompanying pictures make me laugh way too much
