Saluton, karaj!
Esperanto@UIUC, our local group in Champaign, IL and a registered student organization at the University of Illinois, is busy busy busy. I think we have somewhere around 9 new members who will be coming to the beginner meetings, as well as a very active and dedicated group of about 10 advanced speakers of the language. We now have weekly beginner lessons (consist mainly of reading and translating "Gerda Malaperis") and weekly advanced discussion tables. So far, we've chatted at the discussion tables, watched Russian cartoons with Esperanto subtitles, and played games. I love it--it's a tradition to stay. We'll see how it grows.
Let me tell you loud and clear: we want to bring everyone we can to the LK this year. There is the interest, there is the dedication, but the money is difficult to procure. This week we're having our first bake sale. There will be cookies, hot cocoa, and perhaps necklaces and bracelets with Valentine's day-themed Esperanto phrases on them. I'm willing to have as many bake sales as it takes to get these great young minds to the LK, but I fear bake sales alone are not enough.
Saluton, karaj!
It's been a very long time since I've posted and I do apologize for that. I now have very much to talk about and you'll be seeing at least three posts after this one. Just to get the updates out and clue you in on how I'm thinking, here are the main points.
Saluton al ĉiuj!
An update from me and Esperanto@UIUC. First off, a request: a teacher in Arizona has a small class of 8th graders but is looking to start a kindergarten Esperanto class as well. Any suggestions for a course (preferably in book form) that they could use? He has "Teach Yourself Esperanto," but he's looking for something more appropriate for 5-year-olds.
Mi iris al la renkontiĝo de loka Esperanto grupo! Fakte, estis la renkontiĝo de du (aŭ eĉ tri) lokaj grupoj.
Nia Darcy Ross ĵus kreis oficialan studentan organizon ĉe la Universitato de Ilinojo. Montriĝas, alia studento samtempe ankaŭ provas krei tian organizon. Darcy trovis la alian grupon per ĝia afiŝo, kaj aranĝis kunan renkontiĝon. Mi ĉeestis, kaj eble ni povas nomi la aferon ankaŭ la renkontiĝo de ekoci.
Ĉeestis ok homoj! Ni faris planon por regulaj semajnaj renkontiĝo! Bonege!
Ĝojan novjaron, miaj samideanoj! I'd like to share a bit of my Esperanto-related life and thoughts with you all.
Short version: I created a Google Groups for discussion & (legal) file sharing of local Esperanto groups. Join and contribute!
Hello everyone, this is my first post here at E-USA though I've been a member for about a year now and have followed the organization for well longer than that. Brief intro: I'm Darcy (Darsi) Ross, a freshman Biology major at University of Illinois and founder of the Esperanto@UIUC club there (officially begins meetings in January).
