• Presentation of the course: Learning a language is much more than assimilating rules of grammar and vocabulary. It means developing your ability to communicate - that is, to listen, read, write ... and above all speak! If you have bases in Esperanto, but you feel too limited and if you want to give yourself the means to use it in most situations during travel, Esperanto congresses or on the Internet, then this course is for you. This course also aims at preparing for the oral and written tests of the level B1 and exams.
