Verb form of a command
It's the imperative form of the verb that is a command.
Nice episode. Good idea for a series.

Many educators tried to get esperanto to be a big thing years ago. it failed miserably. Many people do not want to have to have to pay double for govenment forms and such to have two languages. English is fine enough. My grandfather came from Sicily and when he came to this country only allowed English to be spoken in the house. He had two sons who became noted attorneys and many grandchildren who easily became college educated in English. The mother of my daughter whose native language is Cantonese, easily earned a teaching degree in the US. Her English is probably better than mine. Most people from south of the border here in texas speak Texmex variation of English/Spanish. To ask them to have to speak a third language is insulting and inane. Besides there are a lot of educated Mexican Americans who speak French. I worked a summer in the Texas valley back in college and the Mexicans spoke french when they wanted to talk privately. My small knowlege of Spanish and Italian, made it easy to at least pick up on a bit of what they were saying. Good luck with the esperanto. I will not let my tax dollars go to support it though.

Nice start
@klaatu,
Saluton!

Mi dankas vin por via provo disvastigi Esperanto podkaste. Mi ankaŭ komencos instruan podkaston baldaŭ. Mi nur havas etan korektigon por vi, via elparolo de "kaj" ĉe la komenco de la podkasto iomete misis.

Sed mi tute ne volas malkuraĝis vin... Mi ĝojas ke via komencas novan Esperantan podkaston.

@davi
The point of modern-day Esperanto is that when people do not share a common language, they can learn Esperanto as a bridge language and communicate in it. In the year since I've learned Esperanto, I've had wonderful conversations and other communications from people all over the world, including Cubans, French, Poles, Chinese and Japanese, many of whom did not speak English, which is much, much more difficult than Esperanto.

And because Esperanto isn't a national language, we were on an equal footing, with no one in the inferior position of a novice murdering the other's native language.

Esperanto has never had any desire to supplant any national or regional language, and it's not intended as an alternative for immigrants to learn their new national language. Its focus is easing international communication.

You mentioned you had trouble finding other Esperanto podcasts. Here is one:
http://esperan.to/podkasto/

It only has about 30 episodes but it looks like it's still being produced. Might be of interest.

not just any ol' esperanto cast.
Jon & Gomer_X:
I probably mis-spoke in the show, but i actually meant "other esperanto podcast lessons" not just another podcast in esperanto. i haven't looked at ALL the links pasted in the comments but so far none seem to be teaching esperanto, they just are in esperanto. Correct me if I am wrong, or feel free to paste in a howto-speak-esperanto show, because I'd love to start listening to it.

Either way, thanks for the links!

Thanks klaatu
For some time I've been wondering why there isn't such a language. And a similar sign language. I guess not enough to google it. Actually, I probably quit wondering about it before I had access to the net. After hearing this show I looked a bit and there is also a sign language with similar goals. I found another teaching podcast that I liked but hope you do more shows. I don't remember now but in case you didn't mention it, the url is http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/browserRedirect?url=itms%253A%252F%252Fax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewPodcast%253Fid%253D274873758
