This course is for language professionals and competent students who are already familiar with grammar, and have an understanding of foreign language concepts. It covers similar ground to the Elementary..! course and introduces a wide-ranging vocabulary, but in a more 'accelerated' manner.

Advanced course

We recommend that Advanced students follow the Internacia Perfektiga Koresponda Kurso. It is suitable for those who have completed either the Elementary..! course or the Accelerated course (or both). The tutor, Boris Kolker, is a renowned Russian Esperantist and a member of the Academy of Esperanto. Twenty-six chapters take you through the simulated life of an Esperanto Club where you 'participate' in lectures and readings, poems and discussions, thereby learning about Esperanto literature, history and culture. Each chapter is followed by explanations, where necessary, abundant exercises and a 'culture quiz'. All material, instruction and tuition are in Esperanto and are delivered by e-mail (although a postal option and printed textbook are available, if preferred).
