I hope you'll allow me to add that the Esperanto Association of Britain offers a free [bold]Esperanto[/bold] postal course. Suitable for those who would like a quick taster, this course gives an overview of the language in twelve bite-sized portions. Once you have received the first lesson, simply return your answers with an SAE. Your volunteer tutor will reply with guidance and the next lesson. All you pay is postage! Tel: 0845 230 1887 or write to:

I fully support Bill Chapman's suggestion.
However, for those who do not have the time to follow a correspondence course, by post, may I suggest the on-line version.
