Thanks for the correction. There is still so much to learn.

I have just finished reading “Esperanto: The Language for the Global Village” (or whatever it was called). A very good and long read. =)

You wrote:
>Adverbs are verbs that end in 'e':

They're not! - adverbs are derived mainly from adjectives, by replacing the -a ending with -e. There are also primary adverbs (e.g. nur, ankaŭ, ankoraŭ, jam, nun) without endings. Derived adverbs modify verbs, and occasionally adjectives:
Ŝi bele kantas
La pomo estas nun jam bele ruĝa

Esperanto is an excellent introductory tool to foreign languages and basic English grammar.
Rapidan kaj sukcesan progreson al via lingvolernado mi deziras.

Thanks! That is corrected.

I had the actual link correct, but not the link's text. =(

Good catch. =)

Sorry but I spotted a typo.
It should be http://www.lernu.net

I totally agree, and Esperanto has a superb future.

Thanks for stopping by again! =) Yea!

Wow! You have had such very diverse experiences with Esperanto. I have had a lot of luck with English. I have quite a few friends in different countries and fortunately they all speak English, but I think this could open me up to even more wonderful experiences.

Learning Esperanto can open the doors even more with Esperanto and the Pasporta Servo that you have mentioned. I am looking forward to delving into this.

This would also be great for my children (when we do have them) when they get of-traveling age, and allow them to see the world better.

This is a good introduction to a language which has changed my life. I’ve used it in speech and writing in a dozen countries over recent years.

Indeed, the language has some remarkable practical benefits. Personally, I’ve made friends around the world through Esperanto that I would never have been able to communicate with otherwise. And then there’s the Pasporta Servo , which provides free lodging and local information to Esperanto-speaking travellers in over 90 countries. In the past year I have had guided tours of Berlin and Milan in the planned language. I have discussed philosophy with a Slovene poet, humour on television with a Bulgarian TV producer. I’ve discussed what life was like in East Berlin before the wall came down, how to cook perfect spaghetti, the advantages and disadvantages of monarchy, and so on. I recommend it, not just as an ideal but as a very practical way to overcome language barriers

Take a look at http://www.esperanto.net too.
