<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>More people in the area are expressing their interest in Esperanto. When I began studying Esperanto in earnest (just a couple of months ago), I was disappointed that there was no active group in the area. Well, that&#8217;s no longer the case.  Our last meeting saw two new people present, one of whom was a fifth-grader who is strongly inspired by what Esperantists call &#8220;the internal idea&#8221; of the language&#8211;namely, the idea that if everyone learned this simple &#8211;but expressive and powerful&#8211;language as a common <em>second </em>language (not replacing anyone&#8217;s native languages), misunderstandings and strife throughout the world could be greatly reduced through better communication.</p>
<p>Because of this internal idea, Esperanto has  grown a large culture of people who hope for international understanding  and peace. Of course, not all Esperantists are nice people, but most of us are! Check us out!</p>
<p style="color:#007700;">Pli homoj cxi tie esprimas ilian intereson Esperantan. Kiam mi komencis studi Esperanton serioze (ĵus du monatoj antaŭe),  Mi desapontiĝis ke ne estis aktiva grupo en la area. Nu, tio ne plu estas la kazo. Ĉe nia lasta kunveno, du pli personoj alvenis, unu el kiuj estis kvin-gradano kiu inspiriĝis per &#8220;la interna ideo&#8221; de la lingvo&#8211;la ideo ke se ĉiuj lernis tiun simplan&#8211;sed esprimpovan kaj fortan&#8211;lingvon por komuna <em>dua </em>lingvo (ne anstataŭas ies denaskaj lingvoj), la pliboniĝa interkomunikado povus ege malpliigi miskomprenadojn kaj luktojn tra la mondo.</p>
<p style="color:#007700;">Ĉar de tiu interna ideo, Esperanto kreskigis grandan kulturon da homoj kiuj esperas internacian interkomprenadon kaj pacon. Klare, ne tute Esperantistoj estas agrabla, sed la plejparto da ni estas! Venu kaj vidu!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Five people attended the first meeting of the Esperanto Club of Hampton Roads, including a two-year-old boy who is a likely candidate to become one of the comparatively few native speakers of the language. We had a great time  getting to know each other, and practicing Esperanto, which is new for all of us. For now, we&#8217;re continuing to meet every other Friday night at <a href="http://www.fairgroundscoffee.com/">Fair Grounds Coffee</a>, on the second floor of Texture <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?sourceid=Mozilla-search&#38;q=806+Baldwin+Ave.%2C+Norfolk%2C+Virginia">806 Baldwin Ave. Norfolk, VA.</a> Come and join us!</p>
<p>Please note however, that the next meeting will being at 6:30 pm instead of 7:00</p>
<p style="color:#070;">Kvin homoj  ĉeestis la unuan kunvenon de la Espertanto-Klubo de Hampton Roads, eĉ du-jarula knabeto, kiu povas iĝi unu el la malmulta denaskaj Esperanto-parolantoj. Ni ĝuis ekkoni unu la alian kaj paroli Esperante, kiu estas io nova por ni ĉiuj. Por nun, ni rekunvenos je ĉiu dua vendredo, ĉe <a href="http://www.fairgroundscoffee.com/">Fair Grounds Kafejo</a>, en la dua etaĝo de la butiko &#8220;Texture.&#8221; <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?sourceid=Mozilla-search&#38;q=806+Baldwin+Ave.%2C+Norfolk%2C+Virginia">806 Baldwin Ave. Norfolk, VA.</a> Venu kaj lernu kun ni!</p>
<p style="color:#070;">Rimarku, bonvole, ke la venonta rekunveno estos je 6:30 ptm, anstataŭ 7:00.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h3>Basic Courses</h3>
<p>Esperanto is far easier to learn than most natural languages, but it does take a little bit of work. Fortunately, only about 20 hours  of study and practice is necessary to acquire a basic vocabulary and a good sense of Esperanto grammar. Here are some of the best ways to get started:</p>
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://lernu.net">Lernu!</a></dt>
<dd>Lernu! is a portal Esperanto for learning Esperanto, including a wide selection of beginning courses in Esperanto, forums, information about the language, and much more.
</dd>
<dt><a href="http://cursodeesperanto.com.br">Kurso de Esperanto</a></dt>
<dd>Kurso de Esperanto is a downloadable computer program which guides you through all the basics of Esperanto in ten simple lesssons, complete with sound files, reading, writing, and speaking practice, and the ability to have your work checked and commented on via e-mail by an Esperanto teacher.</dd>
<dt><a href="http://esperanto-usa.org">Esperanto-USA</a></dt>
<dd>E-USA (also known as ELNA) is the national Esperanto association for the United States. They offer a <a href="http://www.esperanto-usa.org/en/node/55">free ten-lesson course</a> with an instructor via snail- or e-mail, and have nearly<a href="https://esperantousa.hypermart.net/butiko/butiko.cgi"> two thousand titles</a> of books and recordings in (or about) Esperanto available. You need not be a member to take advantage of their services, but members have the advantage of a nice discount. E-USA also organizes a national Esperanto conference each year, as well as sends delegates to international conferences. All the books in print mentioned on this page should be available from E-USA. </dd>
<dt><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/103-4172276-7339047?ie=UTF8&#38;tag=mozilla-20&#38;index=blended&#38;link%5Fcode=qs&#38;field-keywords=Teach%20Yourself%20Esperanto">Teach Yourself Esperanto</a></dt>
<dd>TYE is an outstanding course book for English speakers beginning the international language. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s out-of-print, but there are many copies out there, as any search for used books will show. Prices tend to fluctuate from week to week. </dd>
<dt><a href="http://esperanto-usa.org/node/871">Esperanto: Learning and Using the International Language</a></dt>
<dd>Probably the best book in print for English speakers beginning the language. It&#8217;s divided in three sections: a short history and description of the language, ten short lessons, and an Esperanto reader which continues the lessons while introducing the student to Esperanto literature and usage.  It&#8217;s also very reasonably priced, especially if you order from <a href="http://esperanto-usa.org/">E-USA</a>.</dd>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>There&#8217;s enough interest now to announce the club. A friend and I met together a week ago, and tossed around some ideas on what our E-o gatherings might look like; then I heard from another interested party that they&#8217;ll come to the next meeting. In addition, Kat, the leader of the previous local group, is going to inform the members of the former group about our new startup.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just a beginner &#8230; but I&#8217;m learning fast. You can, too! Come and visit us at <a href="http://www.fairgroundscoffee.com/">Fair Grounds Coffee</a> in Ghent, Norfolk, Virginia, this Friday at 7:00 pm!</p>
<p style="color:#070;">Nun estas sufiĉe intereso por anonci la klubon. Amiko kaj mi konvenis pasintsemajne, kaj babilis pri kiel ŝajnus nian E-on kunvenojn. Tiam, mi aŭdis de aliaj interesitoj, ke ili venos al la venonta kunveno. Ankaŭ, Kat, la estro de la pasintan lokan grupon, diros la membrojn de la eksa grupo pri nia nova klubo.</p>
<p style="color:#070;">Mi estas nur komencanto &#8230; sed mi lernas rapide. Vi povas, ankaŭ! Venu kaj vizitu nin ĉe <a href="http://www.fairgroundscoffee.com/">Fair Grounds Kafejo</a> in Ghent, Norfolk, Virginio, ĉi tiu venonta vendredo je 7:00 ptm!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I apologize for the lack of posts the last few months. Yes, we&#8217;re still meeting, and it&#8217;s still  Sundays at 7:00 at FairGrounds (and we might be outgrowing it soon!) I also apologize for the delay in setting up the new site.  I&#8217;m working on it again, and it should be operational soon.  The URL will be bonege.com (with esperantosource.com as another domain name) but please don&#8217;t visit it until it&#8217;s ready.  I&#8217;ll let you know!</p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;">Mi pardonpetas por la manko de afiŝoj dum la lastaj monatoj. Jes, ni ankoraŭ kunvenas,  kaj ankoraŭ dimanĉe je 7:00  ĉe FairGrounds (kaj eble ni baldaŭ bezonos pli da spaco!) Ankaŭ, pardonpetas mi por la laborhalto pri la nova retejo. Sed mi relaboras pri tion, kaj baldaŭ ĝi funkcios. La retadreso estos bonege.com (kun esperantosource.com kiel alia adreso) sed bonvolu ne vizitu ĝin ĝis ĝi pretas. Mi vin informos!</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The new site for The Esperanto Club of Hampton Roads will launch later this week. Unlike the present site, our club notes and schedules will be only a small part of the new site, which will mostly be structured as an &#8220;Esperanto source&#8221; for English speakers interested in the <em>other </em>international language.</p>
<p style="color:#007700;">La nova retejo por La Esperanto-Klubo de Hampton Roads ekstaros ĉi-semajne. Malsimila al la nuna retejo, nia kluba notoj kaj dataroj nur estos malgranda parto de la nova retejo, kiu estos &#8220;Esperanta fonto&#8221; de informo por anglaparolantoj kiuj interesiĝas  pri la <em>alia </em>internacia lingvo.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>It&#8217;s official&#8211;I&#8217;m going to Montreal in a couple of weeks for the 7th Pan-American Esperanto Convention (&#8220;TAKE 7&#8243; in Esperanto).  I&#8217;ve got my passport in hand, train ticket purchased, and lodgings reserved (very affordably!) at UQAM, the University of Quebec at Montreal. I&#8217;ve always enjoyed travel, and to say I&#8217;m greatly looking forward to this trip is an understatement!</p>
<p style="color:#080;">Oficialas!  En du semajnoj, mi iros Montrealen por la 7a Tut-Amerika Esperanta Kongreso (TAKE 7).  Mi prete havas mian pasporton, mia trajnbileto estas pagita, kaj mia loĝigoj rezervitas malplikoste ĉe UQAM, la Universitato de Kebeko ĉe Montrealo.
