Not much of note to say about today, seeing as it was a day of travelling. How can I make that worth reading?!

I suppose the thing that most stood out was the fact that we, well, might well have missed our flight. Whoops. (more…)

Rolf already explained what the Internacia Seminario is here.

We’re just about ready for this year’s to start in Würzburg in Bavaria. (more…)

I first came across Esperanto about five or so years ago - strangely enough, in a book about computer programming. Since then I’ve spent very little time actively learning the language, but as time went on I found that I could actually work out what simple (and eventually slightly less simple) Esperanto texts were saying. But it wasn’t until this summer that I first made contact with other Esperantists, when I joined the JEB forums in July - which is an amazingly lively place considering the low number of regular posters. Cut to October, and I found myself having agreed to meet these Esperantists in person - but in which exotic location?

Just a note to all who read that I’ve added a new page on this subject. It is indeed possible to have your costs covered when you attend Esperanto events, be they in Britain or overseas.

The UK’s largest language exposition, the Language Show, took place over the long weekend of the 2nd-4th of November. For the fourth year running, Esperanto found itself represented, as members of JEB assisted the Esperanto Association of Britain at the latter’s stand.

So you’re involved. You’ve learned a bit of the language, and you’ve met a few people online, or in person. What next? Can you take it further yet? Is your level of Esperanto really good enough? (more…)

JEB will be at the Language Show 2007, in conjunction with EAB. The Language Show is an exhibition in Olympia 2 which is aimed at language learners, language teachers and everyone with a passion for languages.

Members of JEB will be available to answer questions and to talk about JEB and Esperanto. Why not come and see us on stand 15?

JEB has launched its new website!

It’s bigger, better and funkier, and has come home to jeb.org.uk.

We’ve combined news, articles and general information along with the forums you already know and love, and a new photo gallery.

And because we’ve made it easy for JEB members to contribute news, articles and photos, the new JEBsite is the place to be.

If I were going to create a language, I’d want it to be, well, Esperantish. Regular grammar, exceptions a non-event, logic and flexibility equally prevalent. And … there’s something else that I would want too; a great first impression. (more…)
