Courses and Learning Materials

Successful courses at WEA and the Migrant Resource Centre have been held over the past year, and a Term 2 course has been advertised at WEA. Unfortunately, due to the business of the teacher, this course has had to be cancelled. There are plans for a possible course in Term 4, so please let us know if you are interested in learning Esperanto. In addition, free informal lessons are held at our regular meetings (see Contact page). Private tuition is offered in Esperanto by Jonathan Moylan. For more information, please visit http://servaro.110mb.com/.

If you would like to learn Esperanto by yourself, we have a range of learning materials available which we can lend to you, or you can buy the popular "Teach Yourself Esperanto" by John Cresswell and John Hartley for AU$31.35 (price variable, set by the Libroservo in Sydney at Esperanto House).

However, there are many internet Esperanto courses available. We teach an internet course through Projekto NESTO, using kurso.exe. There are also very good courses at http://www.lernu.net/ and http://www.edukado.net/.

If you would like to do a correspondence course by post, contact the Correspondence Courses of AEA.
