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!
