Stanford University Esperanto

Enrique   24 September 2003

Now you can learn the Esperanto language at Stanford University:

Tuesday evenings from 7:00pm to 9:30pm at the
Bechtel International Center on the Stanford University campus
during the academic year (minus the usual holidays).
This class is free if taken for no credit.

Everyone is free to drop-in at any time.
Even 4 classes are enough to get more than just the basics.

For details concerning the course: (and how to find our classroom)

Why is Esperanto the easiest language to learn?

Because Esperanto was planned to be easy to learn:
The grammar is very simple, concise, and has no exceptions. It has only 16 rules that can be written on a single page. There are only six verbal endings, always regular.

Its vocabulary is shortened by the regular usage of prefixes, suffixes and endings. You have to learn only one "root" for each meaning.

How did Esperanto originate?:

Esperanto was conceived in the mind of a very young boy, about 135 years ago. He was living in a town at the Poland-Russia border, inhabited by four different groups: Polish, Russian, German, and Hebrew; four different languages, cultures, religions...

Young Ludovic thought that there was too much hate among them just because they couldn't understand each other. He figured out, that when he would become adult, he will be able to implement a solution to this problem. Maybe they could talk a language easy to learn... Before ending high school he was already chatting with his friends at school using the first version of his new language.

Links

There is an immense volume of Esperanto information on the web, that is not all readily available to you for two reasons:

1. Most pages are written in Esperanto. (In which language would you expect to find information about English? Shouldn't it be in English?)

2. Information about Esperanto is written in "all languages". It is not possible to write "all languages", but you will find 57 languages at   http://www.esperanto.net/

If you go to the   Google   search engine and enter the word "Esperanto", it will report more than a million hits...

But don't worry, you will still find thousands of Esperanto pages in English.

Don Harlow's   "Esperanto Access"   is possible the English page with more information about Esperanto. It also includes hundreds of links to other Esperanto pages and hundreds of whole books and poems in Esperanto for you to read after you learn the Esperanto language.
