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.

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.
