            Welcome to Esperantio! the world of Esperanto.

Watch videos                   (Top)

The main videos to learn Esperanto are:

    Mazi 1, 76 minutes.           Watch
    Mazi 2 and 3, 95 minutes.
    Esperanto, pasporto al la tuta mondo, 16 x 28 minutes = 7.5 hours

    China Radio International   has lots of videos with actualities.

There are lots of videos in YouTube. Their quality is not always the best. There are also a few full movies.

Read, starting with easy texts or books.
                  (Top)

Start with this page, from the top. Read all the lessons in sequence. You can listen while you read. Try to read aloud some paragraphs. Try to guess the meaning without using a dictionary. After a couple of repetitions, you may look at the translation. You can open 2 windows, with the Esperanto version on the left window and the English version on the right window.

    12 + 3 Facilaj Tekstoj kaj 6 Kantoj  Texts and sound.  English  Español.

Make sure that you understand most of the readings and songs in this page. You should also understand when you listen without reading. But you could go ahead even if you don't understand everything.

Keep reading, but, for a while, read only books written specially for beginners. When you don't understand a word, write it down in a piece of paper. When you have 10 words on your list, or when you finish the readings, consult a dictionary, for all the 10 words.

    Books for beginners

    Many kinds of books

Listen to radios and podcasts
                  (Top)

Radios are not for beginners, but they help you to get used to the sound of Esperanto. Eventually you will start to understand. It is better not to use a dictionary. If you don't understand, does not matter. There are many pages with radios and podcasts.

I recommend to start with   Radio Verda,   which has 201 podcasts, very good pronunciation.

    Partial list .   of radios and podcasts.

Listen to songs
                  (Top)

    More than   500 songs   by more than 100 singers or groups.

    85 songs   by Manŭel Rovere, with text.

Talk to other Esperanto speakers
                  (Top)

The application   Amikumu.com   for the telephone, allows you to find the 100 Esperanto speakers nearest to you. It also allows to find speakers from any other language ... with a catch ...

It will find only those people that have registered. I believe that most of the users speak Esperanto. For other languages, the application is not yet very popular, but it works.
