Where can one find good online courses for learning this language online? I tried downloading something called Kurso with mp3s but it wouldn’t install on my machine. I’m looking for somehthing to read and try out. Perhaps someone would recommend a good book for learning esperanto? ---

I too am very interested in the answer to this question. I tried something called the Free Esperanto Course, but I don’t think I can recommend it, if there’s something better. It covered everything it needed to, but I think that a lot of the answers to the exercises had errors in them. ---
