Every Esperanto printable, chapter by chapter

The whole Esperanto curriculum in one place, mapped to its 31 chapters and 664 lessons.

Chapter 1 · How Esperanto works

Chapter page →
  1. Sixteen rules, no exceptions, and no irregular verbs. Read this first and the rest of the course is vocabulary.

  2. The six hatted letters, how to type them when your keyboard cannot, and the stress rule that never has an exception. Ten minutes, and you can pronounce every word in the language.

  3. Pop the words you just met by matching each one to its meaning. A couple of rounds and the batch is yours.

  15. Kion oni farasThemed review

    The fifteen verbs of the first hundred words, in one place. Chapter 1 is almost entirely function words and verbs, so this is the session that shows you how much you can already say.
