ceigered:Cheers for clearing that up for me Erinja - with the student-teacher interaction and other minor things that aren't on the syllabus, I can imagine that it would be an excellent course (I hope the language courses I'm doing this year are similar at least ).

I wonder what kind of assignments there would be for an EO course at a university - or maybe they aren't needed?

In Hungary every university student only can pass with 2x foreign languages. (Also, German seems to be very popular due to Austria's job oportunities) Lot's of the students choose esperanto for the second foreign language. Guess why. That's no joke. An hungarian esperantisto told me that unfortunately the esperanto teacher at hungarian universities border themselves from the "normal" european esperanto folks/culture. So, there are a lot of hungarian folks who never join the "normal" esperanto folks. Furthermore and in fact, most german esperantistoj learn esperanto at a german university course.

erinja:One comment came via e-mail that thought that 20 weeks was too slow, that people want to study faster than that.

Does anyone have any comment about that?

I think your plan is indeed too slow.
I am a beginner myself, and quiet a lazy guy as well. I started esperanto on the 20th of July with one of the introductionnary course, then "Bildoj kaj Demandoj" and "Ana Pana", which I had finished after a month -on the 23rd of August -and I was only studying 15 to 30 minutes a day.
