I'm trying to learn Esperanto and I came across what looks like a picture book...

Muminvalo

I thought maybe other people might like this link... If there are Esperanto speakers out there, could someone tell me the gist of this website?

EDIT: Oh, and what does "Muminvalo" mean?

It is the Esperanto version of this. I remember reading about it when visiting Finland in 2000.

Multan Dank'! Vi 'stas legendo! (there, some bad Esperanto slang for you lango.gif)

Where do you find all this stuff? Maybe I'm just terrible at searching on Google ha ha.

yes, this is a great story, good find.
I'm still begining to learn esperanto and this isn't a very difficult read (so far)

I am sure that muminvalo means "mumin" valley - wikipedia calls it "moominvalley"

Well, I found Muminvalo on accident actually... I was looking up something on Google using Esperanto as my language and I came across one of the pictures from that story, and I clicked on it and found that it was a children's story...

I found the books however, on my own... I'm pretty good and finding stuff on Google. I'm kind of obsessed about learning Esperanto and I've been spending hours a day researching stuff and watching videos in Esperanto, and doing lessons, etc.

If you ever need help finding something, I'd be happy to try to find it... I found the movie 'Incubus' with William Shatner in it and it's entirely in Esperanto. I plan on watching it later. There are english subtitles too.

EDIT: If anyone is interested in getting Incubus, I'd be happy to share. Message me for details, and please speak english to me. My Esperanto is very limited.

If you want a tough challenge at finding something famous in Esperanto, try finding the sung version (not just the lyrics or a MIDI file of the tune) of L.L. Zamenhof's Preĝo sub la verda standardo ('Prayer under the green flag'). Zamenhof declaimed or read this at the end of his address to the first International Congress in 1905.

But I should warn you that finding this will not be easy - I'm not even sure that the sung version has been recorded. A 'green star' for you if you succeed!

They should turn this into a TV game show, 'Search for the Esperanto on Google!', and then have a couple of phrases you have to search for, with rules like "you must use the 'h' system" and "you must use Google China". And then, for an extra bonus, "you must translate the phrases into Ido". Then as the prize you get a green star, if you complete the Ido challenge you get a blue star. It'd be a hit I'm telling yez.

It's 3.00 am where I am, so I will look for this tomorrow... I can't guarantee that I will find it, but I will try. ridulo.gif

Se bonas por vi, mi metos tiu cxi ligilon sur mia wikispace (tie ĉi).

If it's ok with you, I will place this link on my wikispace (here).

That way if people by chance get to my wikispace they will have more than just links to lernu and wikipedia ha ha.

EDIT: Sorry changed the domain name, links may have been unresponsive for a tad.

No need to use a subject before bonas in a context like that.
