I've moved from Ontario to Quebec and no one in my family speaks French. So I guess, in my immense amount of spare time I should try some more. I don't have -anyone- who can converse with me or help teach me so I'm 100% on my own. I have Kurso de Esperanto 3 and have gone through 1/2 of it but I'm looking for something a bit more, involving/stimulating.

I know there are probably threads on Esperanto online radio station thingies but for all intents and purposes, I'm incompetent at setting things like that up. If someone would please explain to me how I can listen to some dialog that I'm assuming will help me ingrain it into my brain, I'd be happy.

Just a few questions:
Will I need software? Is it like Pandora Radio where I just go to the URL, select a channel, and it starts playing? What are options of topics? Do radios mostly broadcast global news? Are there local radios (ie Canadian based)?

Thanks.

Why do you want to learn Esperanto before French?

If you can find it, you could watch the movie Incubus with William Shatner. It's in esperanto and I actually liked it ridulo.gif

I don't know where you are living in Quebec but I would try to get in contact with the local Esperanto speakers if I were you. They are super nice, and I believe they host some real-life classes in Montreal, and perhaps in some other cities as well. In addition, it would give you some much-needed new friends in your new province (and some people to help you out with your French!)

My apologies, I should have given my location. I'm familiar with the few major Esperanto groups in Canada but Montreal is (I think) a 7 hour drive from where I am. I live in a town called Val d'Or. They don't even get video games on the correct release datesmalgajo.gif.

Thanks Cymbyz.

As to why I wish to learn Esperanto before French: funny story actually. Due to uncontrollable circumstances I have to finish high school through the Ontario school board and I'm a hardcore gamer. So it's essentially me and my basement for then next 11 months. lango.gif All though I do have a HUGE backyard so exercise will actually be happening. rideto.gif

How funny! I grew up in Val d'Or and still own a house in La Corne (even though I moved out of there seven years ago).

I don't go back there that often, but should be there some time next summer. So if you happen to still live there, we may enter in contact, that would be great to get some real life Esperanto going on again (only once did it ever happen to me so far).

Cheers,
Félix

Research suggests that learning Esperanto facilitates the acquisition of a foreign language considerably. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaedeutic_value_of...

Yes, but the quality of grammar and pronunciation is not good. Don't use that movie to learn Esperanto.
