Here are 3 possible ways you can help our Duolingo team and over 20,000 learners right now:

1. Create a free account on Duolingo and enroll in the Esperanto course there. You can go to the "Checkpoints" to "test" out of some sections faster. As you note errors or opportunities for improvement, send us reports (within the course, NOT here) which we will then use to improve it.

2. Help out in the Duolingo Esperanto discussion threads where learners ask lots of questions. We on the team are so busy handling reports that it's hard for us to also respond to every grammar or usage question there. There are so many questions being asked there!

3. Join the Duolingo Esperanto Learners Group on Facebook, which has over 1,000 members. There you can answer users' questions, which they find very helpful.

We have just added 2 new team members, for a total of 7 and may add more in the future.

We also repeatedly and consistently recommend lernu! to our Duolingo learners.

Thanks to all of you for your interest!

You can also point the newbies to the IRC-channel (i.e. a chat-room) ##esperanto on Freenode for practicing reading- and writing-skills. An easy way to access it, offers the website esperantejo.com.

I've made a lot of reports and had many changes accepted. It's worth the effort.

Here is a video interview of a young woman in the Netherlands who finished the course in 6 days, starting from scratch. Enjoy!
