UDIA ZAMENHOF, LL.M.
of Warsaw, Poland
Traveling international teacher,
one of the foremost of the Espe-
ranto world. Daughter of Dr.
L. L. Zamenhof, author and
founder of the language.
LIBIA ZAMENHOF, eminent European
teacher of Esperanto, will open a class in
Detroit, March 7, 1938.
The course will be the same as given in other
American cities during her present brief tour
and the same as previously given by Miss
Zamenhof to some three thousand students in
forty cities in Poland, Sweden, and France.
Mirth and good humor are the forces by
which Miss Zamenhof captivates and holds her
pupils. In an atmosphere of merriment this
new type of educator does her masterful work.
Her two-hour class periods pass, not as drill,
but as enjoyable entertainment all too short.
Thus, in twenty lessons, the essentials will be
taught with such thoroughness that pupils_yvill
be able to converse freely and to read and write
the language. These amazing results are due:
first, to the character of the language itself;
second, to the use of a method new in the field
of education and particularly effective with Es-
peranto; and third, to the unusual personal
qualifications of the teacher.
*******+*
the wisdom of its author, Dr.
L. L. Zamenhof, utilizes the
best-known words and good
points of the leading European
languages, but avoids all un-
necessary difficulties. It is the
easiest of all languages to
learn and use.
MISS ZAMENHOF, at the a^e. of nine,
learned Esperanto from her father, Dr. Zamen-
hof, the incomparable author and founder of
the language. She has since been a regular
participant in universal Esperanto Congresses.
After finishing her course at the University of
Warsaw, she responded to the call for service
in the universal cause of Esperanto, serving as
an authorized, traveling, international teacher
affiliated with the international Cseh Institute
at the Hague. Her translations of several im-
portant works have been published in Espe-
ranto. She is now a member of the permanent
Esperanto international language committee, a
body of Esperanto authorities having the duty
of guiding the normal evolution of the language.
In addition to her high scholastic qualifica-
tions, Miss Zamenhof's natural teaching ability
combined with her charming, irresistible per-
sonality makes her invincible as a teacher.
Under her instruction, which requires neither
outside study nor laborious class work, pupils
young and old forget it is a class and give them-
selves up to the delights of a new tongue.
THE METHOD by which the language
will  be  taught  was  devised  bv. a  brilliant
Catholic  priest  of  Hungary,
Andreo Cseh, who, by special
permission of his bishop, has
since  devoted his  energy to
the cause of Esperanto. Under
the Cseh method,  Esperanto
is taught only in Esperanto.
The method is natural, inter-     ppjaniinii n mum to
esting,  and  advantageous to t    w    '

* * *     TO PBOXOOTCE?  OR TO "MISPTOXOHflJE"?  (Article III.)   *. +  ^t
Turning now from consonants to '-owels, we must recognize the difficulty of defining
vowel sounds with complete precision by mere reference to words in which they occur.  This is
not merely because intonations in Great Britain differ somewhat from those current in America;
for there are also regional and personal variations in our own country.  But if our explana-
tion cannot be perfect, it may at least be worth while.
The vowe|L "p.". There are two different forms of error sometimes encountered in the Amer-
ican pronunciation of this Esperanto vowel. One more serious (though less couimon.) The other
less serious, (but all too general.)
The more vital error which an occasional Esperantist falls into is to be misled by one of
the English sounds written with an "o", which is really not an "o-sound" at all.  That is the
so-called "short-c" occurring in so many words, such as "got, bonnie, tom-tom, bond."  With
probably 99$ of us Americans, the above are pronounced with an "a-sound," not an "o-sound."
For the same 99$ of us, "bother" rhymes with "father," and "pond" with "wand." Or "ponder"
with "wander."
But that mis-named "o" of English must never, be used for the "c" of Esperanto.  To do
so, would make "salutonl" sound as though one said "salutan."
Par more frequent (though it does not make the words unrecognizable) is the tendency of
English speaking folk to pronounce one of the English "o" sounds (that in "old" or "boat" or
"go") with an unconscious "w-sound" at the end, thus changing from a pure vowel practically
to a diphthong.  Thus the word "coast" for us Americans generally sounds as "koust," (and
in parts of England almost as "kafist.")  Giving to the Esperanto "o" this sound, affects un-
pleasantly the ears of the Esperantists of Europe.  So a little explanation on this jjoint is
in order — if we can choose the right words to give it.
Though Esperanto in ba.sic principle has only one sound for each letter, yet the human lips
and tongue, in the vicissitudes of actual speech,have at no time or place shown more than per-
haps a 90$ obedience to this rule.  A sound when it is combined into words is inevitably affect-
ed a little by the sounds that stand next neighbor to it.  (Por example, every vowel before
"r« is modified a trifle by the »r".)
Now Xalocsay, in the "Plena- Gramatiko de Esperanto" by Kalocsay and Waringhien, plainly
recognizes two variations of the Esperanto "o-sound."    One of these (which he styles "mal-
vasta") has the lips more closed or rounded, and is proper whenever an accented "o" is followed
by another vowel or by just one consonent,( "herpa., ppyi, kpra, bone.")  The other (which he
calls "yajjjg,")leaves the lips more widely opened, less rounded, and is used not only in final
and unaccented syllablles, but when several consonents follow an accented vowel, ( "avp_, ppjr,
rpjnda, posts, pjfte, formi.j")
Now what, if anything, in our English, corresponds to the foregoing?  English also has
two genuine "o-sounds."  What we commonly call "long-o" (as in "slow, goat, more, cold,")
would be the "o-malvasta" of the Plena Gramatiko, if only it could get rid of the "parasitic"
w-sound at the end.  On the other hand, what we may call the "broad-cr" sound (in "for, cord,
gone, long, lost") seems very close to the "o-vasta" of the Plena Gramatiko — on one condition,
which is, that the tongue must not bo crowded backward as in the "very broad" sound of such
words as "cough," or "broad," or "slaughter."
Now if you chance to have learned your Esperanto from a lesson hook (for there are a few
such) which givesthe English words "or", "for," or "form" as models for Esperanto "o", your
vrenunciation will not be very far astray. (President Scherer, who has heard much Esperanto
spoken all over the world, suggests "long" and "lost" as serviceable models.)  If your lesson
bock gave you the unaccented "o" of "donation," you also are on good ground, at least for the
unaccented syllables of Esperanto.
But the lesson books from which most of us have learned our Esperanto have given us, as
models for "o", one or more of the following: "so, more, go, boar, glory, boat, note, poetry,"
— or other words that are close blood brothers of these in the matter of sound. And we also
will find ourselves traveling on a good road, provided we will school ourselves by practicing
the following little exercise.----------Place one finger vertically before your mouth, so
as to touch both lips when they are apart about one half inch.  Then say "ohl ohl ohl ohl"
repeatedly, — being very careful all the while not to let your lips move in the slightest
while repeating these words.  And be equally careful that your tongue does not move at all
while you repeat the words.  (After pronouncing these "oh'^s rapidly, you may pronounce them
slowly.)   Any one of us who will practice this exercise faithfully will soon
have an Esperanto "oM that he never/he ashamed of.    E.G.Dodge   * * *

WE ARE HAPPY1, TO ANNOUNCE TEAT WE CAR, furnish, in any desired quantity, that
very popular lesson book for beginners, "THE ElHaERAlNTOlfX^^                     by
James Robbie. This is the ninth edition (June 1937), revised and enlarged, of
a work which has already been sold in more than 50,000copies, all over the
world» An added satisfaction is that the new edition ha3 been printed espe-
cially for American use, with all prices in American money, and with notices
of our S.A.N.A., on cover pages. This book will fill a long felt want.
There will always be a demand, of course, for a very brief beginners' outIt-
line and for 'keys',obtainable for a nickel or a dime. There will also be a
demand for complete grammars, necessary for scholarly advanced students.
Yet between those outer limits, there has long been felt to be for us in
America a sort of gap, which now is happily filled by the "HOME STUDENT"..
Size 7X4 l/2 inches, 62 pages and stiff green covers. Pronunciation, word
formation and grammatical rules are presented in an orderly fashion, with
very simple explanations that anyone can understand,. There are 27 exercises
each accompanied by a'key'. The book is therefore specially valuable to the
prospective student who must be his own instructor. Price 20c'-doz.@15s/each.
In the opinion of many teachers, the presence of 'keys' to all exercises is
very helpful even when the book is used as a textbook in classes. For this
is afeature which greatly reduces the number of elementary questions which
pupils ask of the instructor during class period. So it leaves that period
more free for other matters-such as practice in elementary conversation.
Early Orders to date indicate a wide demand for this well tested textbook.

world issues. Both sides in the Spanish and the Chino-Japanese conflicts
are sending out thousands of copies of circulars and speeches by government
