Esperanto

Esperantistoj -- legu mian Esperantan paghon.

English speakers -- this page is old and crufty. Check out my new Esperanto resources for English speakers page.

I speak Esperanto and use it for international communication.

If you live in or are visiting the Champaign-Urbana area and you speak Esperanto, I'd be very pleased to hear from you. I'm the main contact point for the East-Central Illinois Esperanto Club. See the web page for details of our regular meetings. If you're interested in Esperanto activities in and around Champaign-Urbana, I urge you to join the mailing Esperanto_Champaign mailing list:

Among my Esperanto activities, from mid-1996 through mid-1997 I was editor of EsperantoUSA, the newsletter of ELNA, the Esperanto-League for North America. I also wrote "Dolaroj kaj eŭroj grandbilete" which appeared in the January 1999 issue of Monato, the monthly Esperanto-language news magazine. With my brother, Steven BREWER, I've written a number of Esperanto-language haiku under the pen-name Istvan Bierfaristo. Check out the Zne Hakoj de Istvan Bierfaristo

You can learn more about Esperanto from these pages:

Learnu.net

This is fairly new, but seems to be a great place to learn Esperanto on-line.

Esperanto.net

General information about Esperanto.

Esperanto League for North America

ELNA's pages have a lot of information about Esperanto and about the organization and its activities.

Universala Esperanto-Asocio

The international Esperanto association. (That's the link to their English-language pages.)

Esperanto Access

An excellent introduction to Esperanto for non-Esperantists. It is also useful to Esperantists with a lot of pointers to web pages in and about Esperanto.

Literaturo en Esperanto

Links to hundreds of Esperanto texts, both original Esperanto works and works translated into Esperanto. As a resource for Esperantists, this page is outstanding. As a demonstration of just how much Esperanto literature there is, it is impressive.

Project Gutenberg Esperanto texts

Project Gutenberg has a number of Esperanto text books, some works by Zamenhof, and some other public-domain stuff in or on Esperanto.

Esperanto Wikisource

Another excellent source for Esperanto texts.

Of course there's a lot more, but the really good stuff is only available in Esperanto.
