The platform
Progress in Esperanto between classes, at your own pace
Interactive lessons with native audio, vocabulary, dialogues and quizzes. Everything you need to reinforce your skills between live sessions.
The platform
Between classes, you move forward twenty minutes a day
Lessons follow one another in order, with no evening to set aside. Every word is recorded by a native speaker.
- 157 lessons across 35 modules, from beginner to advanced
- Native audio on every word, with a slow-down button
- Your progress is kept, on phone and on computer alike
Audio
You hear the language as it is actually spoken
The recordings are made by native speakers, not by a synthetic voice. The slow-down button separates the sounds when it goes too fast.
- Every sentence can be played and slowed down
- The transcription and translation sit under the audio
- You replay it as many times as you need, with no limit
Quizzes
Every module ends with a quiz, not with a ticked box
You are corrected on the spot, with the explanation. A failed quiz can be retaken, with no penalty and no record.
- Immediate correction, with the right answer explained
- An end-of-level test opens the next level
- A level certificate at the end of the course
Level certificate

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about learning Esperanto
It is the easiest language to learn in the world, according to comparative linguistic studies, the Foreign Service Institute estimates it takes 150 hours for Esperanto versus 600 for French (for an English speaker). The reasons: 16 grammar rules without exceptions, perfectly phonetic pronunciation (you write exactly what you say), vocabulary built systematically from recognisable roots, and no arbitrary gender. For French speakers, at least 40% of the vocabulary is immediately understandable.
Yes, via the Pasporta Servo network (Esperanto-speaking couchsurfing), you can travel across 90 countries staying with Esperanto speakers. World and regional congresses gather thousands of people. Online, Reddit, Discord and Telegram communities are very active. True, Esperanto is not the language of your office, but it's a key to a uniquely close-knit and multicultural international community.
Yes, this is the 'propaedeutic' effect of Esperanto, documented by studies since the 1920s. Groups who learned Esperanto for 1 year and then French for 3 years outperformed those who learned French for 4 years. Esperanto trains the brain in linguistic thinking (conjugations, cases, vocabulary), creating a 'language muscle' that speeds up any subsequent learning.
Esperanto has no native speakers in the traditional sense, but it does have 'denaskuloj' (children raised from birth in Esperanto), estimated at several hundred. Most speakers are 'L2', they learned Esperanto as a second language. An intermediate Esperanto speaker can communicate without difficulty with any other speaker in the world, regardless of their origin. It is one of the rare languages where your 'accent' carries no social weight.
For a French speaker, 2 to 3 months with regular classes is enough to hold everyday conversations in Esperanto, that's 4 to 5 times faster than French or Spanish. In 6 months, you can attend an international congress and express yourself on any topic. The initial progression is so fast it is often experienced as deeply motivating, a positive effect that carries over into learning other languages.

“Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.”
CamilleVerified purchase
D
“What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.”
DamienVerified purchase
S
“Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.”
SorayaVerified purchase
A
“Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.”
AntoineVerified purchase
E
“The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.”
