Australian Esperanto Association

ummer School

The Australian Esperanto Association (AEA) hosts a summer school of the international language Esperanto for one or two weeks each year. Classes are arranged for beginners, intermediate, and fluent speakers of the language. The summerschool usually occurs in January and everybody is cordially invited to participate.Details are available at the [http://aesk.esperanto.org.au/ website] of the association which also describes its other projects.

Correspondence Courses

The AEA also runs its own Correspondence Courses of Esperanto. Courses are available in several levels, ranging from total beginners, through to experts who wish to polish their Esperanto grammar. Courses are relatively inexpensive, and include textbooks, dictionaries and CDs to help you learn and practice the language, as well as your own private tutor. Detailed information is available at the Correspondence Courses website, at http://kurso.esperanto.org.au.

Official Exams

The AEA continuously develops and administers an official Esperanto examination system, intended to officially test and certify linguistic proficiency in Esperanto. The system is comprised of 3 separate tests: Elementa (basic), Supera (intermediate) and Klereca (advanced). Successful completion of one of these tests is sometimes a pre-requisite to receiving scholarships, or entering specific courses.

The official examinations of the AEA are made available to all during the Australian Esperanto Summer School, as well as throughout the year through specially appointed representatives in various local Esperanto organisations throughout the country. The entire examination system is overseen by the AEA Chief Examiner - currently Trevor Steele, a renowned Esperanto author, and member of the Academy of Esperanto.

Journal

The official journal of the Australian Esperanto Association is 'Esperanto Sub La Suda Kruco' (ESK), edited by Donald BROADRIBB, honorary member of the Universal Esperanto Association, and also a member of the Academy of Esperanto. ESK is available both in printed as well as electronic (pdf) format, and is sent out bi-monthly to every member of the Association.

Non-members can also subscribe to ESK via the AEA's bookshop site: http://libroservo.esperanto.org.au

Podcast

The Australian Esperanto Association has its own official podcast, named Tuj! - new episodes are made available monthly, and can be downloaded from the Tuj Website [http://tuj.esperanto.org.au] or subscribed to via the iTunes Music Store.

Esperanto is also broadcast for one hour every Monday at 1pm by the Melbourne Ethnic Community Radio 3ZZZ.
