Hi, is there anyone out there who would like to teach a total beginner to learn Esperanto?

Hello Pilgrim,

You better search for Esperanto speakers among "language partners" on the left side of your homepage.
Contact them for potential exchange.
The chance you get someone responding in this section is not very high ,specially with a language like "Esperanto" not abundantly spoken on this site.
Good luck:)

Hi Pilgrim, this Resources site is helpful for a beginner;
