First words in Esperanto

Saluton! Kiel vi fartas?, Hi! How are you?

BO-nan TA-gon / sa-LU-ton / KIEL vi FAR-tas

Bonan tagon, Hello

Formal greeting

Did you know? Zamenhof created Esperanto in a city where 4 ethnic groups were violently at odds, Poles, Russians, Jews and Germans. His dream: a neutral language allowing dialogue between all. He published it under the pseudonym 'Doktoro Esperanto' (the doctor who hopes), and the name stuck. Esperanto has survived two world wars, been persecuted by Hitler and Stalin (both suspicious of a 'stateless' language), and continues to thrive through the internet and the annual World Congress (Universala Kongreso), which gathers thousands of speakers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Esperanto

Is Esperanto really easy to learn?

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.

Is Esperanto really spoken and useful in real life?

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.

Does learning Esperanto really help me learn other languages?

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.

Can you actually converse with a native Esperanto speaker?

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.

How long does it take to reach a conversational level in Esperanto?

For a French speaker, 2 to 3 months with 2 classes per week 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.

Reviews

Verified learner testimonials.

“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

“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

“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

“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

“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.”
