I’m sad to announce this will be my\u00a0last post for\u00a0Transparent Language’s Esperanto blog. It’s been wonderful working with Transparent Language and our community here. So, for my final article, I’ve decided to highlight our top ten most read articles as well as a few of my personal favorites.<\/p>\n
Start Reading Esperanto Literature<\/a><\/strong> Facila Vento — Easy Reading in Esperanto<\/a><\/strong> Muzaiko: 24 Hour Radio Station<\/a><\/strong> New Comic about Esperanto<\/a><\/strong> Chinese Learns Esperanto in Just 5 Months<\/a><\/strong> 3rd Gen Native Esperanto Speaker: Nicole<\/a><\/strong>
\nThis guest post is still the most popular article on this blog and for good reason. Many Esperanto speakers want to read Esperanto and just don’t know where to start. This will guide you with a quick overview, so you can get started! For a more in-depth look at Esperanto literature, I’d recommend the Concise Encyclopedia of Literature in Esperanto<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n
\nIf you just want to start reading Esperanto, Facila Vento<\/em> is an excellent place to start. Most articles also provide the text read aloud, so you can train your listening comprehension while you read too.<\/p>\n
\nWho would’ve thought this 24\/7 Esperanto radio station would still be around 4 years later? Well, it’s still alive and well. In the meantime, be sure to also check out Esperanto-TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nThe American comic artist, Dan Mazur, published an interesting 12-page comic about native Esperanto speakers.<\/p>\n
\nSome criticize Esperanto as being too European and thus too difficult for Asians. However, Zhu Xin proves the ease of Esperanto as he speaks Esperanto better after 5 months of study than English after 7 years! Still think Esperanto is too European? Check out this article by Claude Piron: Esperanto: European or Asiatic Language<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s been a real pleasure to interview some native Esperanto speakers, which resulted in finding a 3rd gen native speakers: Nicole! Read his story along with his father’s<\/a>, an Esperanto DJ<\/a> and a school teacher<\/a>. Later we ended up creating this video about natives<\/a>:<\/p>\n
