At the end of each part, there is an advice page. Here you can read various hints if you want to.
For part 1
Congratulations! You just made your first step in learning a new and interesting language. Certainly there's much work ahead before you'll be able to speak it, but hopefully the learning will be interesting to you. If you want to print out the course and review words, grammatical explanations, and texts offline, you can do that easily by downloading the PDF version of "Ana Pana" here.
For part 2
Important things when you learn a new language are 1) to have a reason to learn 2) to be patient and 3) to have courage. The reasons for learning Esperanto are rather diverse, for example: some are interested in the grammatical structures, others see possibilities for meeting people from other countries/cultures, and a third group simply wants to know whether they can learn a new languages. (Visit the page Why learn Esperanto to see a list of reasons.) As you know, it's not possible to master a foreign language immediately. Certainly Esperanto can be learned more easily than national languages, however, it is a language, and everyone must expend some effort to gain sufficient knowledge before they can make themselves understood with it. There are some people who are able to learn Esperanto after several weeks of intense study, but for the majority, it takes several months or even years, so you need to be a bit patient and not expect results too quickly. Courage helps in every kind of learning, for example, to learn to ski, you have to have the courage to fall down, and fall again! During language learning, it's important to have the courage to speak loudly and clearly, so that you gain, as quickly as possible, the language reflexes that are essential for starting to speak a new language.
For part 3
If you want to correctly speak a foreign language, you must first know the grammar of that language. Don't be afraid! The grammar of Esperanto is much more understandable and logical than that of national languages. If you feel uncertain about grammatical terms, you should look at Grammatical Terms, which will give you a basis for being able to understand the grammar of Esperanto. In fact, we recommend to you that even now, you should look through the first ten parts of the Grammar and do the exercises at level one for those parts.
For part 4
Great, you've now done half of this course! As you might have noticed, each part becomes more and more complex, and maybe you experienced some difficulties. When you meet difficulties, it's completely normal to begin to doubt if it's worth continuing. It was the same for us when we learned Esperanto. But today we certainly don't regret that we continued to struggle and succeeded in mastering the language, thanks to which, we travelled a lot in foreign countries (often without paying anything), met a lot of interesting people, and made friends scattered through the world. We hope that you will also continue learning, and we'll try to support and encourage you! You are always welcome to write to your language helper about your questions or doubts.
For part 5
To be able to use a language well, you need to master it consciously, by feeling, and by reflex. "Consciously", you master a language by knowing a lot of words and the grammar, and that is achievable by self study. To master a language "by feeling", you need to learn the language in diverse situations, and not be afraid of showing your feelings through speaking. The "reflexive" mastery is similar, that is, that you don't have to think very much before expressing yourself, even the opposite - that which you want to say, comes automatically, according to your thoughts and feelings. A language reflex in you, for a word or phrase, is created only after repetition many times. When you learn Esperanto independently, it's important that you speak the language! If you have a dog or cat, speak to it in Esperanto. It will certainly like it, and you will have some good practice at the same time. You can also talk to yourself out loud.
For part 6
Again, we recommend that you study some grammar. This time it would be good if you can read through and do the exercises of level 1 for the last nine parts.
When you learn a new language, it's important to hear the language a lot. If you have the ability, download mp3 files of the course and listen to some of them every day.
For part 7
Zamenhof, who created the basis of Esperanto, wrote in the Unua Libro "The most primary problems that need to be solved":
I.That the language should be extraordinarily easy, so that you should be able to learn it by playing.
II.That everyone who learns this language should be able to use it immediately for the understanding of people from different countries, with complete equality, whether this language should be accepted by the world and find many supporters or not -- that is, that the language, even from the beginning itself, and thanks to its own construction, should be able to serve as an effective resource for international kcommunications.
III.To find resources to defeat the indifference of the world and to do it as soon as possible, and to begin to use the proposed language, en masse, as a living language, -- not with a key in the hands and in events of extreme need.
About I, perhaps not everyone agrees, but if you compare learning of Esperanto to other "complete" languages, you can conclude that they require longer and more complicated work. To learn Esperanto by playing, you can, among other things, go to Games. If you want to act according to II, we recommend that you find pen pals in My lernu!. To help fulfill III, you are already well on your way, through your interest and learning :-).
