This course will lead you up to basic fluency in Esperanto in only 3 months. Recommended pace is two short sessions a week, so that you have a chance to solidify your knowledge and don't forget things from one week to the next. After this course, you are ready to study Intermediate Esperanto, or to just delve into Esperanto culture and start reading literature (with the help of a dictionary). I am looking forward to helping you delve into the unique international Esperanto culture. If you would like more information on Esperanto itself, try http://www.esperanto.info
