Lernu

Lernu is a free online platform dedicated to teaching Esperanto. Launched in 2000, it was one of the first major language learning websites to utilize the internet for widespread Esperanto education. The primary goal of Lernu is to make learning Esperanto accessible to anyone with an internet connection, regardless of their geographical location or prior language learning experience.

The platform offers a variety of learning materials, including interactive courses, vocabulary exercises, grammar explanations, and cultural information about Esperanto speakers and their community. These resources are designed to cater to different learning styles and paces. Lernu also features a community aspect, allowing learners to interact with each other, practice their skills, and ask questions. This includes forums, chat functions, and opportunities to connect with native or fluent Esperanto speakers.

Lernu is a non-profit project and relies on the contributions of volunteers for its development and content creation. Its open-source nature and collaborative approach have been key to its sustained growth and the continuous improvement of its educational offerings. Over the years, Lernu has been instrumental in introducing many new learners to the international auxiliary language of Esperanto, contributing significantly to its global presence. The website is available in numerous languages, further enhancing its accessibility.
