Course of Esperanto in Twitter
I have launched what I think is quite an original initiative on Twitter, that service of microblogging, which has become so successful in the latest months. I have begun to teach a language course.
Of course, that language must be easy enough to allow teaching it by "pills" of up to 140 characters a day. So, I have chosen the easiest living language, the international one, Esperanto. The language I am teaching in is Spanish. You may take a glance at http://twitter.com/cursoesperanto.
My plan is to post an update once a day. As Esperanto is simple enough, I am convinced that Twitter may be a suitable place to teach it bit by bit. I must confess, though, that I consider this rather as an experiment.
More than 30 people have already signed up to follow the course, 30 patient guys, not all of them Spanish-speaking. I’m sure an English version will come. Meanwhile, if you don’t understand Spanish, try http://lernu.net/.
