Esperanto at Stanford University

The Payoff

Whatever your reasons for learning Esperanto, The International Language, the payoff is when you actually make contact with people of other cultures and you can easily communicate. Luckily, the San Francisco Bay Area has a large number of opportunites to practice. Including the internet and relatively cheap travel methods, the whole world is waiting for you.

Stanford classes, Stanford area e-mail list
Northern California Yahoo Group list - here you will get notices of weekly conversation groups in San Francisco and Berkeley, a bi-weekly lunch conversation group on the Peninsula, the annual All-California Esperanto Congress and all kinds of other events from Sacramento, Davis and other hot-beds of internationals.
Esperanto USA - The Esperanto organization for the USA, with offices in Emeryville (near Berkeley).

TEJO - Tutmonda Esperanta Junulara Organizo, The World Esperanto Youth Organization
Pasporta Servo - International Hospitality Service using Esperanto (Yes, SERVAS, the English language equivalent comes from the Esperanto idea.)

I could list hundreds (thousands?) of organizations from more than a hundred countries, thousands of original and translated works from all over the world... But you'll have to learn Esperanto for any of them to be useful for you!
The world is waiting for you.
