I have a problem in that I cant stay focused when using the learning tools available on this site.

Thus I'm looking for something I can obtain in physical form and study without the distractions presented to me by the internet.

Any suggestions? Keep in mind that I'm just starting out.

Thanks

Try this software:
Kurso de Esperanto

As I understand it Lifixs is looking for material that can used away from the computer.
Take a look under Learning -> Downloads for courses that can be downloaded and printed. A number of courses are available in PDF.

A book might also be a good idea.

I like "Esperanto: Learning and Using the International Language" by Richardson. It's got a pretty good mix of lessons (with answers in the back), overviews of Esperanto history and culture, reading texts to practice with, and a pretty decent glossary. You can get a copy from the ELNA catalog (www.esperanto-usa.org) or a used copy from one of the sellers at Amazon.

I liked using the 10 Lesson Postal Course of ELNA even though I was also using something else at the time. I was in contact with a real live person, even though it was by mail. My lessons were returned quite promptly though. I think you can call 1-800-esperanto and leave your address on the machine and they will send you a packet of info which includes "lesson one". Good luck.

There is also an e-mail version of that ten-lesson course that you can do with an online tutor.

You could also print out the information to study it on paper offline.

More information at either one of these links:

The best all around dead tree Esperanto course that i've found is "Teach Yourself Esperanto" but it's out of print and hard to find (try abebooks.com) and stick with the most recent editions (I used the 1992 edition so that's the one I'm familiar with). The editions from earlier decades aren't as complete (and may have errors).

It's pricey ($30-40 per set) but the two volume audio course "Jen Nia Mondo" available from ELNA and audioforum.com is also a very good introduction to the language. It focuses on conversation and listening comprehension skills. The version I have is audio-only, but it's quite good. It's somewhat similar to pimsleur courses if you're familiar with those. I wouldnt use Jen Nia Mondo by itself, but it's a great supplement to other methods. ridulo.gif

I printed out all the lessons & lots of grammar on my course "Ana Pana". So I can study them in a relaxed manner & then go do the exercises.
That helped a lot. From the printed material in my library, it all seemed quite dated. No computer terms! It seems the latest up-to-date Esperanto is here. So I'd print out everything or take the email course.
bonan ŝancon; good luck

Some (perhaps even all) of the "Jen Nia Mondo" lessons were broadcast on a radio station in Australia a few years back and are archived at RadioArkivo.org. Here is lesson one (note that the lesson is embedded as part of an hour-long broadcast, so you may have to fast-forward a bit):

I highly recommend "Jen Nia Mondo" for building listening comprehension.

EDIT: Yes it's a "virtual" resource, but you could always download it and burn an audio CD.

You could try this free ebook from Project Gutenberg:

The HTML version is probably better. You can copy and paste the lessons into a Microsoft Word file, or similar text editor, and print them off.
