I have been using the beginner Lernu courses to learn but I need a break from it so have decided to try Kurso de Esperanto.

However, a reality check may be in order. A quick search on the Internet makes me think that most languages have hundreds of thousands of words. Kurso de Esperanto introduces maybe forty of so in each of it's twelve lessons. I did the lessons pretty quickly since much of it was review for me, but had I been starting from zero, I reckon that each lesson might have taken a few hours, so that I could maybe complete the whole thing in, say, 50 hours. Esperanto might be easier to learn than a national language, but it's still a pretty major undertaking. I certainly wouldn't expect to be able to reach intermediate level in 50 hours.
To be more encouraging, let me say that, for a free course and 50 hours of work, being a beginner with some important concepts learned is pretty good. Also you will, of course, be able to complete Lernu's intermediate courses after Kurso de Esperanto. But you probably won't breeze through them. And you will be able to reach intermediate level after Kurso de Esperanto, too. Just not immediately after.

I would also like to see something similar to Lang8's functionality in the site, ie encouraging public writing and community correction.
