Hi

I am just beginning to post in Esperanto but have not been brave enough to use the instant messenger/Tujmesaĝilo on this site. I think my Esperanto isn't fast enough yet.

There are some 'useful phrases' on this site, but not for instant messaging. Does anyone know of a list anywhere?

For starters:
saluton (al ĉiuj) - hello (to all)
kiel vi (fartas)? - how are you (doing)?
bone kaj vi? - well and you?
pri kio temas la babilado? - about what is the chatting?
ĉu iu vidis la matĉon de... - did anyone see the match of...
mi foriras, ĝis al ĉiuj - i am leaving, until later to all

These are about the most used phrases, with quite literal translation.

Thanks, I guess if need be I will have to put my own 'Phrasebook' together - perhaps lurk & learn a little. It amazes me that it can be esaier to find out how to say 'my hovercraft is full of eels' in Esperanto than some normal everyday expressions!

I often consider myself a fluent speaker of English, but actually I'm only fluent in the fields where I need it, which would be politics, academics, science and general chatter. I hardly know any plant names and few household items in English for example.

This used to be my exact situation. I am still not good with plants, but I am now decent with household objects and common herbs and spices used in food.

Words from nature (plants and most animals) and certain foods are hard to pick up "by accident". This is something that you really have to push yourself to learn. It helps to attend an Esperanto event where you cook for yourself, in a group; you tend to learn more kitchen words. You can push yourself to learn these terms by assigning yourself tasks that take you out of your normal ken - translate a recipe, translate a wikipedia article on plants, visit a zoo with a dictionary and learn some exotic animal names, then write a blog entry on it. Browsing the lernu picture dictionary also helps, but you need to use and write the words to really learn them.

Labeling things in your house also works, if your family doesn't mind.

It can help to use the messenger in full screen mode... You can click the arrow that is under the text area to open the messenger in a new window... then you can maximize it.

That will give you more time to read the messages and type what you want to say...

Amike,

Daniel.

I've thought on doing that, but I am too lazy, and it remains as an item in my to-do list rido.gif

Amike,

My Esperanto isn't nearly up to speed or bulk yet either (I have only been studying for less than a month), but I have found it helpful to even just watch the conversations that happen among other people in the Tujmesaĝilo. Many people are having conversations throughout and it is helpful to your Esperanto studies and to your comfort level with it to just watch people have conversations without taking part. If you are feeling brave, you can throw in a quick "Saluton" and people will respond back and maybe strike up a quick conversation. Everyone in there is friendly and willing to help someone who doesn't feel comfortable with quick conversations.
Hope this helped!
