  • Pasporta Servo is a free hospitality network, currently consisting of some 1350 Esperanto-speaking hosts in more than 85 countries. Hosts won't charge you anything to stay with them while you learn. To join the network as a guest, you only have to buy the address list, which is updated each year, and then you can use the service. (Esperanto was conceived in 1887 by Ludovic Zamenhof, a Jewish doctor living in Poland. He hoped to create a universal second language that people could use whilst still retaining their national identities. Whilst no country has officially adopted the language, there’s been a community of up to two million speakers in 90 countries for the past century, and there are more than 25,000 books written in Esperanto in circulation today. There has been an Esperanto organisation in Britain for more than 100 years, and the latest incarnation, the EAB, was set up in 1976.) More info here.
  • Le Poyenval is a residential language school in the Vendée, in the Western Loire region of France.
