I wanted to learn a new language because it seemed like a fun thing to do. Me being me, the language that I picked was, *drum roll* Esperanto. Naturally the first thing I do is look for online resources. Actually I found this website: lernu! last year, but I never managed to come back to it and actually do the lessons there. So I figured, "Lets do it now!" and all of a sudden I have a full plate.
So anyways, I did lessons 1 through 5 of the basic course over the night and I think I'll also use the blog as a one stop spot to post new words and phrases that I encounter. As time passes I'm hoping that posts in this category would consist of more and more actual content in Esperanto.
