My personal favorite is using flashcards, and reading in Esperanto. I'd say listen to music, but some people (like me) know how hard it is to find songs.

For concrete vocabulary, try labelling everything in the new language. That way, every time you see the object, you see the word, too. It really does help, but I must assume it will not work for everyone.

Dating an esperantist is always good.

Haha ^

For learning numbers, I use them to count while I'm doing push ups, sit ups, etc. It makes counting stuff and working out both a little less mundane, and I excersize my brain and body at the same time! surprised

YOu are absolutely correct there! It helps when you try to speak it and think it as much as you can.

Writing often is helpful. Trying to teach another person is very helpful in learning it. Flash cards didn't work so well for me, but the Lernu online courses worked like a charm, and forcing yourself to speak in Esperanto and write is really the best way to go

well, I dated the only female esperantist in Oz between the ages of 18 and 35, so, that method has kind of burnt itself out for me.

I did learn a lot from her though.

I need to start travelling on the Libro servo more.

Immersion also good, that is what the Hobart Summer school will be fore!

Also there are classes for conversational Esperanto offered at Stanford University here in California. It's open to Stanford students and the general public as well. You don't have to attend Stanford to be able to take the classes.

Check it out. Conversational Esperanto -- Stanford University

Why do I have to live in Vermont? I'd love to take that course.

When I have a reading to do in French, what I try to do is go through and read it, highlighting words I don't know as I go along. Then, I go back, and make flashcards of the words, with the word and gender on one side (I highlight it blue if it's a masculine now, and pink if it's feminine), and put a definition on the other. If it's a verb, I also conjugate it in the present tense on that side, and use it in a sentence for everything else. It's time consuming, but it works pretty well for me.

Plus, you can skip a couple steps in there for Esperanto, since there's no conjugation within tenses, nor is there masculine or feminine. :3

Wow, I missed this before. Good idea! That's what MY French teacher's been having me do for a while now, and it's helped more than anything else.

Flashcards are definitely a plus, provided you study them (unlike me xd ) Usually I just read whatever I can get my hands on, or try to write as much as possible. I recently started updating my plurk in esperanto.

Me too. X_X I was surprised, I just started college and I forgot WHAT I was filling out, but I could select previously known languages, and Esperanto was one of them... Lmao.
