Here are the lessons for my
class at Stanford.
Before
class, please print copies of the appropriate part of my web pages and
bring it to class. (If it is your very first time coming to class, please
copy all of the pages of "lesson
zero" and bring that no matter what lesson the rest of the
class is doing.)
-
Please read this first! Pronunciation
My "patented" Lesson Zero! - Grammar -
Warning!
Do not attempt this at home without a teacher for explanation. The
International Language is simple, but not too simple.
- Lesson 1 - Affixes
- Vocabulary Building - After seeing lesson zero
and the simple
structure of Esperanto affixes will help build vocabulary extraordinarily
fast.
- Lesson 2 - Correlatives
- Vocabulary Building - Esperanto has a
simple way to connect some
of the most commonly used words in a language.
- Lesson 3 - Participles - Vocabulary Building and the last
Grammar lesson - Web version in progress: Lesson on
participles
- Mini lesson - Vocabulary Building - Web version in progress:
Lesson on "ig" and "iĝ" ["igx"].
- And don't forget the following "rules":
- Don't translate words, translate ideas.
- If anything seems weird... it's probably the irregularity of English
that's confusing you. (Try the same word/sentence in the plural/singular
or
masculine/feminine or as a question/not or negated to
see the irregularity of English in a different light.)
