Conversational Esperanto / Çiutaga Esperanto A series of lively dialogues from everyday life by Don Lord. With illustrations by Peter Oliver.

• Don Lord, who learnt Esperanto in 1941 and celebrated his 80th birthday last year, has kindly given permission for EAB to publish his ‘Çiutaga Esperanto’ articles in book form: Conversa- tional Esperanto / Çiutaga Esperanto. The articles originally appeared over the years in La Brita Esperantisto and (a few) in EAB Update, but have been arranged into categories and slightly edited for this edition.

• For those readers who are not already familiar with Don Lord’s ‘Çiutaga Esperanto’, these are short texts, mostly dia- logues, written in lively, everyday Esperanto and designed for learners who would like to improve their fluency. The topics covered are everyday ones, and the style is colloquial, but neither the vocabulary nor the grammar is simplified. However, even relatively inexperienced users of Esperanto can learn from them as the more difficult terms are followed by an English translation in brackets, and many of the texts also have notes.

• The book also includes a foreword by Marjorie Boulton and Esperanto–English and English–Espe- ranto vocabularies with page-number references to where the terms appear in context.

Don Lord: Conversational Esperanto – Çiutaga Esperanto. Barlaston: EAB, 2006. 200pp. Illus. A5. ISBN 0-902756-22-9. • Order from EAB for £9.00 + £1.35 (p.&p.) = £10.35. EAB, Esperanto House, Station Road, Barlaston, Stoke-on-Trent ST12 9DE or online at www.esperanto-gb.org.
