Hippocrene Books, 1994. — 356 p. — (Beginner's Guides).
Based on the elements of the foremost Western languages, Esperanto is incomparably easier to master than any national tongue, for its grammar rules are completely consistent, and a relatively small number of basic roots can be expanded into an extensive vocabulary. Esperanto has been called “a masterpiece of logic and simplicity,” which explains its use as an introduction to foreign language study for children and adults.
This book presents all the essentials of Esperanto grammar, and covers the basic vocabulary students will need to express their thoughts in the language. Beginner’s Esperanto is comprised of 15 lessons. Helpful appendices include a list of national and international addresses for Esperanto organizations and sample letters, examples of word-building, and a listing of prepositions and affixes.
