Summary: Sensible approach to learning Esperanto
Comment: This is my favorite beginning Esperanto book. The vocabulary choices are good, with more difficult words being introduced in a logical manner (not all at once!) The excercises are at a good gradient - not too hard -- and the words a new Esperantist would need are introduced early on.

Within just a few days I was able to correspond with Esperanto speakers from all over the world.

I highly recommend the language and this book!

Summary: The Best First Book to the Language & the Movement!
Comment: I'd normally not want to simply add another "Oh this is a great book" to the list of reviews that is already here, but honestly Richardson deserves the praise.

While the book largely tries to be three things at once it is successful to a good degree. The first part of the book is a good overview of the "language problem" and Esperanto's solution to is. It's also a good (but increasingly dated) overview of Esperanto culture and resources.

The second part of the book is a reasonable 10-lesson section on Esperanto itself. it does a good job at this for its size by immediately integrating the reading of dialog at the end of every lesson.

Finally, the most unique part of the book is its last part: a small Esperanto reading anthology that allows you to immediately try your new found skill.

If you're interested in Esperanto in any capacity (save hard linguistics, perhaps) this book is your first stop. Get it.

Summary: A very good book for a beginner.
Comment: I've tried other books before, but this is the esperanto teacher that I was actually able to complete. There's a history of the Esperanto Movement, ten lessons, lots of reading material and an esperanto-english dictionary (in that order). I found the book exactly what *I* needed in order to learn basic esperanto. If you're a beginner, then this is the book for you.
