I was looking around youtube and found this documentary on Esperanto and Esperantists.

I also found a full length movie called Gerda Malaperis in Esperanto. It follows the book pretty well. This word list for Gerda Malaperis may be helpful. Here is a translation into English for the first 3 chapters.

On the learning front, I've been rolling through about one Jen Nia Mondo lesson per day.

And here is one sobre el idioma internacional in Spanish.

I also found an Esperanto course in Spanish. I've read the prologue and the first 2 lessons. It seems pretty good to me. The main speaker in the video in the previous posting mentioned this as a good book for learning Esperanto in about 50 hours. That seems very doable. I burned through the first two lessons in maybe 30 minutes, but for me that has been primarily review and a good chance to use Spanish and notice how Esperanto is taught to hispanohablantes.

I've watched Pasaporto al la Tuta Mondo up through video 5 a second time. I follow up the watching of the video with listening to the mp3 at some point later. I've split the video's audio out into 3 parts. Intro, episode, and closing comments. I plan to shadow the episode in the car, but I'll have to figure out how to fit that in between the Jen Nia Mondo lessons.

Today I watched the 6th Pasaporto video again. The course material is said to be graded, so as expected, the later videos are more challenging. I can tell a real difference between the first and sixth videos.

I also read through lesson 4 from ¿Sabe Usted Esperanto?


I wish I could say I did a Jen Nia Mondo lesson today, but I gave my wife a break as we drove in the car and we just listened to classic rock.

The saga continued with the 7th Pasaporto al la Tuta Mondo video. Definitely worth watching that one a second time. You know how it is where we don't always pay close attention, our mind wanders, or we simply don't understand well what all is going on? Well, I had less of that and more of an, "I understand what all is happening" this time through. I feel I'm in a good position to watch the next episode.

In the car I listened to lesson 12 from Jen Nia Mondo, which reminds me that I want to read that lesson in the book. The book is helpful, and that lesson would be good to hear again. Originally, it sounds like the producers of the program had thought of just doing the 12 lessons. There is a further course containing lessons 13-25. It will be fun to see what that holds in store...

I also read through lesson 5 in ¿Sabe Usted Esperanto?. One of the interesting features there is noticing how closely related Spanish and Esperanto vocabulary are.

Por ejemplo:
BENKO BANCO (asiento)
AMI AMAR
BOTELO BOTELLA
DANCI DANZAR, BAILAR
FRAZO FRASE
DIRI DECIR
LAGO LAGO
DONI DAR
LECIONO LECCIÓN
LUNO LUNA
KISI BESAR
PATRO PADRE
LEGI LEER
STELO ESTRELLA
ORDONI ORDENAR, MANDAR
SUPO SOPA
PROMENI PASEAR
VINO VINO
RESPONDI RESPONDER

P.S. I did read through JNM lesson 12. At the end of the course book there is a small dictionary for the course. At the end is some more info. The course was published in 1977, 35 years ago. They mention a "follow-up course uniform with Jen Nia Mondo will be available shortly from Group Five" (the producers of the course).
