The Springboard Method of Learning another ethnic language is to learn Esperanto first. Clearing the hurdle of learning another language beyond one’s native language gives experience with language that greatly facilitates learning any language beyond that. Esperanto allows you to clear that hurdle early on. On top of that, there may be materials in Esperanto on your next target language. (A You Tube presentation on the Springboard Method can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gSAkUOElsg)

In support of those wanting to use the Springboard Method for learning English, I have translated a trimmed-down (“kernel”) version of the Wikipedia article on the film, “The Proud Rebel”. I am not retaining any rights to it, and so this derivative work is as freely usable as the original Wikipedia article.

The kernel and its translation can be found here:
