If you have only just begun to take an interest in Esperanto and wish to know some basic information about this fascinating subject, please start your reading at the first article of this series. Having already completed 82 articles, I am now at the stage of writing articles for those readers who have learned quite a lot about the Esperanto language and movement already, and who are now wanting to find out more than just the basic introductory information. To get to the beginning of this series, please just click here: http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/1146... Then, after you have read the first article, click on the link at the top of the page which says "Articles" to find the rest of the series, which is listed in reverse chronological order. __________________________________________________
I would like to begin this article by thanking two of my readers who wrote to me recently and very kindly provided me with useful information and details of two relevant publications, neither of which I have read. Albert Reiner from, I think, Austria, recommended this pamphlet: Esperanto mono. Ilustrita historio pri universala monosistemo.' (2-a eldono) de Hans Jankowski.
And Darold Booton from the USA sent to me this entry from the catalogue of the ELNA book service:
SMIDELIUSZ, Katalin ed. Memorlibro Omagxe al Andreo Cseh, Illustrated. 1995. 128p. 235x165. Paper. Hungary. ISBN 963 650 215 3 $19.00
Everybody who has any interest in teaching Esperanto by means of the Cseh method should become familiar with its inventor. This collection of short essays presents the man and the method in warm and personal vignettes. Published in recognition of the hundredth anniversary of Cseh's birth.
Darold also wrote that he had found this book interesting enough to read a second time.
My thanks to Darold and Albert, and to all other readers who, from time to time, send me useful comments and information. (Especially S-o Atilio Orellana Rojas - see below).

THE INTERNATIONAL ESPERANTO-INSTITUTE
Origin
On the 24th of May, 1930, Andreas Cseh and a Dutch couple, J. C. and J.R.G. Isbrucker, founded the International Cseh-Institute of Esperanto at Arnhem in the Netherlands. In 1933, the location of the Institute was changed to The Hague, where it has remained ever since, and in 1952 its name was changed to the International Esperanto-Institute, (IEI.) Contact details are as follows.
Present Director: S-o Atilio Orellana Rojas, to whom I am greatly indebted for sending me much information and making it possible for me to write this series of articles on Cseh and his work.
