All 4-year-young children around the world speak fluently with a small vocabulary, no matter which is their language. The main purpose of Esperanto is to speak Esperanto. We have to try to focus on fluency ... with a small vocabulary. At first it is best not to try to memorize lists of words. After reaching fluency, the vocabulary can be extended by reading and listening. But we should start with readings written specifically for beginners. "Kontakto" magazine is written using only 875 word-roots. They can write about any subject using only those words. Some of their articles are written with a still smaller vocabulary of less than 500 words. Knowing the meaning of those words will help us reach fluency. The fastest way to learn that vocabulary and how to use those words, is to complete a basic course. At that moment isn't necessary to learn all the details about grammar. 1.
