Smartyy:haha, well, I recall trying to use the chat room four years ago after I knew some basics and they all told me that the chat room was more for fluent speakers to talk and not for beginners to make a fool of themselves in, and same with the esperanto part of the chat room.

Though, it just occurred to me that there's nothing saying I can post in the *english* part in esperanto and have more experienced speakers correct me ^^

Another thing I've been doing when I get the chance is to listen to some of the podcasts and radio broadcast archives.

I second the idea of podcasts. I especially recommend Radio Verda, by our own Arono. His diction and pronunciation are fantastic, and from clips I've seen on line, he's a fluent speaker (if I were to discover that he and his wife did not speak Esperanto at home, I'd be surprised).

I second Radio Verda. Very clear pronunciation and audio quality.

I think Arono once told me that they speak English at home more often than not, but occasionally they'll use Esperanto. It's been some years since he told me that, but they were both fluent speakers at the time, at any rate.
