1. Learning vocabulary:
  (To top)
Some students mention different approaches to learning long lists of words. Knowing the words is not enough to use a language. You need to know how to use those words.

Following a basic course is the fastest way to learn the basic vocabulary, with better retention. After finishing a course, try to read easy-readers, written specially for beginners with reduced vocabulary. You can get fluency in Esperanto knowing just 500 words. Then go on learning more words by reading more, with the help of a dictionary or vocabulary. But do not stop every time you find a word you don't know. Write it down, and when you have five or ten words, search some of them in the dictionary.

2. The Zagreb Method:   (To top)     A simple course to learn and practice Esperanto, teaching about 450 words.   Remember that all 4-year-young children around the world are fluent with a small vocabulary, no matter which language they speak.

About the sound: Some of the readings (or songs) can be read while listening. When using a browser not made by Microsoft, this icon appears on top of each reading. Otherwise, find the links at the end of the page.

Start learning with the  Zagreb Method.
After a few lessons try  these readings  as practice or as a test. Listen while your read. Read aloud. Read from the beginning as far as possible, without using a dictionary. When you don't understand several words, stop, go back to the course and study a few more lessons. Then repeat this sequence. Keep going until you finish the course and understand all the readings.

If you think that you need a dictionary, try the following vocabularies, but don't learn the words from the vocabulary. It is faster and better to learn from the course. The course teaches the 450 more frequent words.

  List of the   1000 more frequent easy words. The words in bold are more frequently used.
  Clicking on each word gives its meaning ... in Esperanto.

  2500 Basic Esperanto Word Rootswith translations in English. By Edmund Grimley Evans.
  This vocabulary of 2500 words is divided in 10 groups.   Group 1 has the most used words.
  Groups 2 - 9 have the next groups by frequency.
  Group 10 has words which aren't in the original list.
