EAB 'Elementary..!' Esperanto course (part 3 of 3)

This course is specially written to be easy to follow and motivating to use. It is equally suitable for those starting to learn Esperanto from scratch or for those wanting to deepen and consolidate knowledge learnt via the Free Postal Course.

Elementary..! is based on an intriguing spy story and the three parts together cover basic grammar and vocabulary and will give you a good working knowledge of Esperanto, for writing letters, reading articles, and chatting to other Esperantists. The course includes listening tasks and an opportunity to converse with your tutor on the phone to practise speaking and correct pronunciation.

All our courses include support from a tutor*, who will monitor your progress by checking answers, highlighting and explaining any areas that you may have misunderstood, and answer any questions or queries that you may have as you learn the language.

* Please note that this EAB correspondence course, with tutorial support, is only available to students in the UK.

Part one comprises:

• The course text, Gerda malaperis!, by the internationally renowned author, Claude Piron
• A vocabulary book, listing words as they are introduced, chapter-by-chapter
• An audio CD (for parts 1 and 2) with recordings of the text, listening exercises and pronunciation hints
• Five individual lesson booklets, which also include background information on the 'World of Esperanto', self-help exercises and exercises to be returned to your tutor
• A resource booklet, which contains the answers to the self-help questions, and puzzles to help revision and vocabulary building
• An introductory booklet giving advice on how to get the best from the course, explanations of grammatical terms and advice on pronunciation

Part three comprises:

• Two resource booklets
• The next ten individual lesson booklets, as above.
• An audio CD covering part three, as above and including short Esperanto radio excerpts

In addition, we recommend buying Lasu Min Paroli Plu! which is a collection of short stories, also by Claude Piron. Each chapter parallels a chapter of the course book, Gerda malaperis! and cunningly re-uses in an interesting and entertaining way the words and grammar introduced thus far. What better way to practise newly acquired skills?
