Preface – Esperanto Primer
First thing I want you to do is to overload yourself on an Esperanto Primer (or 3) to get an overdose intro into Esperanto. I do not expect you to remember most of this. I just want you to get exposure to the overarching concepts found in Esperanto so you will have some perspective in how things fit together in the big picture of the language. If you really, really need to concentrate on something while taking a look at this then concentrate on the alphabet, since that will be the first lesson.
You may want to print out the Primer(s) so you have it as a reference document as you go through these exercises. It may come in handy to refresh your memory to give you an idea where the lesson is going or how it fits into the rest of the language. If that is not enough check out my Esperanto Links for more than you can handle.
