Saluton,

I am a brand new member of Lernu!

Just wondering what's the best amount of time to practice each day?

I work fulltime etc.

Dankon!

Johano

I'm still working on my Esperanto skills..Which I guess is true for everyone to some extent.

Anyway, I suggest just starting out with 30-60 minutes of practice each day, just so you don't get burnt out. And usually (atleast for me) over time, you will want to practice more and more. It really doesn't take much time to master all of the grammatical concepts, especially if you have learned another language in the past.

Good luck! Happy language learning!

I think when I started out, I would go anywhere from 15 minutes to about half an hour.

My goal was to try and avoid burnout. Anytime I started to get bored or antsy or whatever, I would stop.

Keep it fun, and you're more likely to stick with it.

I started doing it whenever I got bored, and now I tend to get bored whenever I'm not using it rido.gif

For me it used to be 10-30 minutes a day, now it's usually 30-60, which really just consists of lernu and writing, etc.

When I started I didn't have set times - still is the way it is now. I just went on, had a look, tried to get a few activities done, or just looked at the forums and joined it. It's been a year since I started and I'm now able to post confidentally on the Esperanto language forums so as long as you put in a random bit of each day into it you'll be fine.

Prefer to do some before going to sleep, and try to remember what you saw the day before when you get up.

And come sometime to chat in the tujmesagxilo okulumo.gif, there ->>>
No matter if your skilled enough or not, with a dictionnary you can catch things anyway.

gxis!

My recommendation for anyone learning anything, especially if it's for fun like Esperanto, is go until you feel like you're no longer sharp. When I was starting and Esperanto was the cool new language I was learning, this could mean 2 hours a day. But more often than not it was fifteen minutes between classes. On really stressful days I might only have looked at the English Forums to keep my mind on the goal if not on task.

The point is, find a good rhythm for you and don't study longer than you feel your mind is at it's best. rido.gif

One of the best ways I've found to study a language is to make up a set of flashcards and keep them with you. Put five English words on one side of the card and their corresponding Esperanto translations on the opposite. That way, when you have five minutes here and there, you can pull out your cards and build your vocabulary. It works great when you're waiting in line at the supermarket, for a plane at the airport, etc. In this way, you won't have to set aside a specific time of the day for studying.

Another idea which I just had but realised was unfeasible for me (due to landlords not liking us sticking adhesives to the walls) was that you could stick labels on objects which you use and put EO vocab on them. Or just stick little labels with irrelavent and random EO words on them (e.g. you walk past your wall to find a sticky-note saying 'hundo - dog, fusilo - gun, explodi - to explode'.

I personally prefer pafilo for gun. It's such a nice and fun word.
