Accelerated course
CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE
As with all our courses, the Accelerated includes support from a tutor who is
an experienced Esperanto-speaker. He/she will monitor your progress by
checking your answers, highlighting and explaining any areas that you have
misunderstood, and answer any questions or queries that you may have as
you learn the language.
The course comprises:
- The Esperanto version of the celebrated 'Teach Yourself' series
which includes grammar explanations, texts to study and exercises with
answers.
- The pocket Esperanto Dictionary by A. McLinen. This is a two-way,
fully comprehensive dictionary with more than 70,000 words and
expressions. Published in 2001.
- An audio CD, giving examples of model pronunciation and
pronunciation hints, expressions in English and in Esperanto, a song and
an Esperanto computer course.
- A 16-lesson course guide, which includes tutor marked exercises,
sentences for translation and, from lesson nine onwards, essay topics
varying in length from 200-400 words.
- A copy of Jen Londono. An Esperanto version of the 'Ladybird series' book. An excellent first reader with full-colour pictures and one-page text on the most famous London sights.
Unfortunately this course is currently unavailable as the core textbook is out of print.
EAB offers a range of different level exams for those who would like to gain a certificate and the work-book includes a practise paper for the Intermediate level exam.
In addition, we recommend purchasing:
Step by Step, by Montague Butler. Although this was published a while ago, it is nevertheless an excellent reference grammar with index. Copies turn up occasionally in our second-hand book stock, so if you are interested please ask at the office.
Faktoj kaj Fantazioj, by Marjorie Boulton [see price and order online]. This is a collection of short stories, poems, jokes and anecdotes from around the world, written in clear, straightforward Esperanto. A book to 'dip into' and one to consider buying when you are about half-way through the course.
