Hello boys and girls,

Just thought I'd share an interesting and useful blog that I enjoy on a regular basis.

It basically documents a method for learning languages more efficiently and more quickly than the traditional grammar approach (which I personally avoid).

http://www.fluentin3months.com/

Enjoy the read and the video viewing.

Thanks for that useful link. I am a German teacher myself and know how difficult it is for students... I always tell them: "Sprache kommt von sprechen", what means the word language (Sprache) comes from the word speaking. And one has to really commit to that decision to acquire a new language.
So far so good; nun mi devas provi ke tiu cxi metodon agas.

I am addicted to Fi3m. I discovered it a couple of weeks ago, and I love it. Benny is such an engaging writer!

Dear IrishPolyglot, please make an appearance.

@Ketchupsoldier Aw, thanks for those kind words! Glad you like my writing ridulo.gif Appearance officially made okulumo.gif
You'll be glad to know that I spent an entire week speaking Esperanto at the IJS event in Hungary a month ago. I'm still considering whether I should go to JES again for New Year's.
@Uvi Thanks for sharing the link okulumo.gif
@Alonsososo Well said - the only way to make progress quickly is to start speaking immediately!

irishpolyglot:@Uvi Thanks for sharing the link okulumo.gif
Not a problem, dude. It's just that I see so many threads on here about some of our peers struggling with Esperanto grammar, trying to tackle the challenge from overly complicated perspectives, and (consequently) getting discouraged.

I just thought that your blog might bring some fresh air to their motivation.

Keep up the impeccable work. sal.gif

The language advice is amazing. rideto.gif I just downloaded a list of "conversational fillers" which, esperantified, will be really useful. Dankegon!

Perhaps when you have esperantified them you would care to share them?

Hi Bookworm. The notion of conversation fillers for Esperantists is intriguing.

In my experience, most Esperantists are never short of things to say, once they have mastered the basics of the language.

And also Esperanto differs from other languages in being relatively free of clichéd or conventional phrases.

Could you give a specific link to where the conversation fillers might be downloaded for free - or post some examples here.

Happy to assist in any translation from English.
