I was going to post this in the section for talking about lernu.com, but I couldn't quite finish all my thoughts in Esperanto, haha... shoko.gif

Anyway, I think we need a section of the board where new people can talk. Where there aren't going to be a lot of difficult words keeping us from following the conversation or replying.

Sorry if somebody's already suggested this, it's just a little daunting when there are all these words flying around and I have no clue what's going on lango.gif

Do you mean a beginners section where you can talk in basic esperanto to other beginners? I think thats an awesome idea, dont know why I didn't think of it myself lango.gif

If you meant just an english forums to speak in english, then thats pretty much what this forum is for. I have posted here since I was a beginner!

No. Erinja is a native English speaker.

Isn't it possible to do this in this section? It's not dedicated, but if you start a thread in Esperanto then you can still fall back to English if you want...

It seems to me that you need to contact someone who has had experience of starting Esperanto clubs in schools in your area. If you live in New York City, here's the website for the local society:
http://www.geocities.com/esperanto_nyc/
An email address for general ELNA enquiries is info@esperanto-usa.org .

Good luck.

Mi estas ankaŭ komencanto. Mi eklernis Esperanto dum ĉi tio Oktobro. Kiel oni boniĝas ankoraŭ? Per diri kun aliaj esperantistoj! Paroli kun aliaj komencantoj estas bone, sed vi lernos pri bone sole kiam vi parolos kun spertaj esperantistoj. Ne kaŝu vin malantaŭ la anglalingvo! Saltu en esperanton! Ĝoju en la sperto!

I am also a beginner. I began learning Esperanto during this October. How does one continue to improve? By speaking with other Esperantists! Speaking with other beginners is good, but you will learn more only when you speak with experienced Esperantists. Don't hide behind English! Jump into Esperanto! Rejoice in the experience!

Watching the instant-messenger tick past, line by line, and listening to podcasts even though you won't always understand them, are the best ways of learning any foreign languages, specifically Esperanto. You won't understand much at first. But don't worry, as you absorb it, you will understand more of it. But if you hide in a "beginners" area, how will you ever know you are ready to jump out into the "non-beginners" world?

One of the great things about Esperanto is that it doesn't belong to anyone. If you make a mistake or say something silly, you are not offending anyone's culture or nationality. There are no excuses for anyone not to join in and just take part. The experts love to help, and you will become an expert faster by being with them. I hope that makes sense. It's how I feel. It's not daunting like learning German or English. It's fun because Esperanto is a Lego-Language. All you are given are colorful blocks, how you assemble them is pretty much up to you once you've understood some simple rules. Have fun expressing yourself ridulo.gif
