TIPS AND NOTES Grammar notes will be more helpful once you have a context for understanding them, so if you find you're having trouble with the lessons, these notes should be more helpful to you.

SOME SIMPLE ESPERANTO RULES Each letter has a unique and separate sound. For example: longa is pronounced "lon-ga". Both k and n are pronounced in knabo.

The emphasis in every word is always on the next-to-last syllable. For example: all 2-syllable words have the emphasis on the first syllable, as in viro, and all 3-syllable words have the emphasis on the middle syllable, as in knabino.

All present tense verbs end in -as, so there are no verb conjugations. Examples: estas, laboras. Yay!

All singular nouns, such as knabo and virino, end in -o. This includes names of cities and countries, such as Francio (France).

The definite article ("the" in English) is la in Esperanto. For example: la viro = the man.

Indefinite articles ("a" and "an" in English) are not used in Esperanto. For example: viro = a man.

-in is the feminine suffix: viro = man, virino = woman; knabo = boy, knabino = girl. Remember that all singular nouns end in -o, so the full ending is -ino.

ESPERANTO ALPHABET The Esperanto alphabet has 28 letters. They include all the letters of the English alphabet, except for Q, W, X and Y. A few letters have accent marks.

If you are spelling an Esperanto word out loud, the name of each consonant is the sound that letter makes, followed by -o: B = bo, S = so etc. The name of each vowel is the sound that letter makes. a = ah e = eh i = ee o = oh u = oo

The letters C and J Esperanto example c ts (as in pets) laca j y (as in yet ) kaj Here are four of the accented letters: Esperanto English Esperanto example ĉ ch (as in chair) ĉu ĝ g (as in large) ĝi ŝ sh (as in shoe) ŝi ŭ w (as in wet) aŭ
