Dear student, Mi gratulas vin pro via deziro lerni Esperanton! Congratulations on your desire to learn Esperanto! I will be your instructor. It is very important that you read everything I will send you. You may think that it will take you some time to read that. Please also think how long took me to write it. If you don't read it, you will need more time to figure out how to do things and how to answer the exercises from your lessons. It will take you much longer to do your part, and it will take me longer to correct your exercises and repeat how to do things. Also send your lessons to me in a steady way. If there is too much time between lessons, you may forget what you have already learned. When I correct lessons, I erase all the exercises that don't need comments. Please keep copies of everything you send me and everything I send you. I keep everything in a single text file (.txt). I have one file for each student. I hope you really desire to talk in Esperanto, so you can do that after a few weeks. Remember that Esperanto is easy, because it can be learned in a fraction of the time that will take to learn another language. But Esperanto is difficult, because all languages are different. It will take some effort to grasp some of the grammar concepts. There will be moments that you will find it difficult. Then you will have to study a little harder, and then ... just keep going on, even if you don't understand. You learn the language with practice. Later I will send you 3 messages to read before starting the course. Please read the whole first message and about half from the second message, up to the text concerning the lesson you are about to study. Then start to study and send the exercises to me. 1. The first message is about how to use the course. 2. The second message has help for some lessons. 3. The third message will help you to listen to Esperanto. You should listen to it many times, even if you don't understand anything. Little by little you will start to understand. Listening to the language gets your ear used to the sound of Esperanto and your brain accustomed to its structure. 4. Learn Esperanto watching a video. This is an amusing adventure, fun to watch. Repeat it as many times as you can. Now I will be waiting for your lessons ... that I will try to review as soon as I see them. - - - A couple of weeks ago 2 students told me that they had lost all their files because either the hard disk or the whole computer stopped working. To avoid that problem it is necessary to keep copies of all files (not only Esperanto files) outside the computer. Please copy the text of this message and all messages that I send you and all messages you send me in one text file (.txt). Text files take much less room in your hard disk than Word files (.doc). There are many ways to keep files. It is better to save them everyday. They can be saved into ... an external hard disk other computer any kind of drive or portable memory like Jump drive, Travel drive ... you can burn a CD or DVD once a week There are other ways, including some Internet sites. Good luck! Best wishes, Enrique Fremont, California, USA http://esperantofre.com/bookK0h Primer mensaje
