Esperanto is the international language which was invented by Dr. L.L. Zamenhof, a Polish oculist, in 1887. Because of the beautiful simplicity of its grammar, and because of the enormously rich and varied range of lexical meanings which the language is able to build from a relatively small number of root words, Esperanto gained popularity quickly as an auxiliary language in all five continents. Estimates of exactly how many speakers the language has seem to vary considerably, but suffice it to say that the number of letters which Five Continents International Penfriends Club receives in Esperanto would be quite sufficient to make things rather difficult here if we did not happen to have a resident Esperantist on the premises!

THE ESPERANTO LANGUAGE PROGRAMS DISC

The following are the three programs on this CD, and they are very useful for most students in their first three years of learning the international language.

ESP-1) ESPERANTO BILLION. For students in their FIRST THREE YEARS of the language (and beyond!), this very user-friendly program makes an ideal tutor and study companion. Operating with a choice of TWELVE different levels of difficulty to suit the student's current state of knowledge, the program can create over TWO BILLION different model sentences of ESPERANTO with or without translation, as the user prefers. The sentences are built up from a relatively small vocabulary, as appropriate for students in their first few years of ESPERANTO. When the student runs the program in non-translation mode to test progress, ESPERANTO BILLION constantly offers to translate any sentence which is not fully understood and monitors the student's progress in this respect over each run of ten sentences. The program then makes various recommendations. In short, it is almost as good as having a very patient, indefatigable, real, live ESPERANTO tutor with unlimited time available to monitor your progress in understanding written Esperanto, step by step!

ESP-2) ESP-TRAN. This program generates random ENGLISH sentences at pre-selected levels for translation INTO ESPERANTO (from a range of over a BILLION possible different sentences). Every time the student keys in an ESPERANTO sentence identical with the model translation generated by the computer, it plays a few notes of music in acknowledgment. When the student's ESPERANTO differs from that of the computer, the programmed translation appears on screen for the student to make comparisons. Most students (young and old!) learn fast this way; and... is there any teacher of ESPERANTO who could NOT make good use of this program?

ESP-3) E-VOCAB. An ESPERANTO vocabulary training program which checks the student's progress letter by letter and gives instant feedback, E-VOCAB comes supplied with SIX standard vocabulary files which contain the majority of the words used in ESPERANTO BILLION, most of which are essential knowledge for would-be Esperanto speakers. E-VOCAB also enables the user to file new lists of ESPERANTO words and their English equivalents to disc, ready for FURTHER vocabulary drill on the program at any convenient time - and, of course, as is the case with the previous program ESP-TRAN, the circumflex and inverse-circumflex Esperanto accents are available on the keyboard when running this program.
