Learn Esperanto offline, at your own pace, with a complete beginner course in your pocket. Parolejo combines a structured 12-lesson Zagreb-method course, narrated audio, flashcards, a large dictionary, and grammar reference into one app that works entirely without an internet connection. No accounts, no ads, and no payments. Whether you are starting from zero or brushing up, Parolejo gives you everything you need to read, hear, and practise Esperanto. What you get: - 12-lesson Zagreb-method course: clear, proven lessons that take you from your first words to real sentences, with text and interactive exercises. - Narrator audio at your pace: hear each lesson read aloud, slow it down (0.25x to 1x) to catch pronunciation, loop or jump back 10 seconds to repeat a phrase, and resumes where you left off. Lock-screen and background controls keep it playing with the screen off. - Tap-to-translate reading (beta): read "La novaj vestoj de la imperiestro" and tap any word for an instant translation. - Flashcards and Practice: review and drill the course vocabulary to make it stick. - 63,771-entry ESPDIC dictionary: look up Esperanto to English, with labels in your chosen course language. - Grammar reference and appendices: explanations and tables whenever you need them. - Adjustable text size: scale the lesson and reading text to read comfortably. - 30+ interface languages: use the app in the language you are most comfortable with.
