In fulfilment of a promise made in the first number of The Esperantist, a few phrases are here given, with their equivalent English phonetic spelling. In reply to those friends who wish to see a monthly list of stock phrases, with their English meaning, we beg to remind them that the Frazlibro de la Turisto contains 400 such phrases, each in 6 languages, for the trifling cost of 6d. We are not disposed to sacrifice our limited space as suggested, unless, after mastering the 400 phrases named, which deal with a great diversity of subjects, our friends still feel the need for a further collection.
The phrases used below are culled from a forthcoming work by Mr. J. A. Thill, of Plymouth:—
