Grammar is tough stuff, especially English grammar. For every rule there are a dozen exceptions. Starting with English grammar is like starting with the advanced class, skipping over the basic grounding that would make learning easier. Learning Esperanto, the International Language, can help.

Esperanto's regular grammar rules make it much easier for you to gain a grasp of grammar. Esperanto's grammar serves as a "stepping stone" when encountering the more complicated and less logical grammar of English, French, Spanish, and others. Since Esperanto's principles of grammar are widely applicable to other languages, what you gain in learning Esperanto can improve your English grammar and help you learn any foreign language more quickly and completely.

Studies have shown the propaedeutic value of Esperanto, meaning that learning Esperanto makes learning other languages easier afterwards. Wikipedia has a comprehensive article on the subject.

Speaking Esperanto, the International Language has its own advantages, including free travel and lodging, promoting brain health, and helping to protect linguistic diversity.

Esperanto-USA (E-USA) is a non-profit education organization that promotes the use of Esperanto in the United States. You can request more information about Esperanto from E-USA, explore resources for learning Esperanto, look at some recommended books for beginners, and find a local group in your area.
