HINTS TO LEARNERS.
These hints are principally for learners teaching themselves. Follow the advice of your instructor, if you have a good one.
(1). First study carefully the pronunciation (pars. [5–19]).
(2). Learn, in the following order, Grammatical Terminations (par. [53]); Suffixes and Prefixes (pars. [54], [55]); Pronouns (pars. [126], [131]); List of Prepositions ([page 180]); Correlative Words (par. [147]); List of Primary Words ([page 334]); Use of the Accusative (pars. [65–68]).
(3). Read aloud daily some portion of the "Krestomatio," and Exercises on pages [259–315].
(4). Translate daily some portion of the "Krestomatio," or Kabe’s "Unua Legolibro," into English, and then back into Esperanto, and compare. At first, translate the Esperanto fairly literally, so as to get a good idea of the usual order of words in Esperanto, and where it differs from English in construction. Afterwards translate into fluent English, and then back into Esperanto.
(5). Get readiness of expression by constantly asking yourself aloud questions, and then replying to them; by saying in Esperanto what you see when walking out, what you are doing, etc., as, "Now I must go to bed," "It is time to get up," "I must cross the street," "I wonder who lives there," etc., etc.
