Beginner Esperanto Conversation Meetup
Qahwah House - Broadway, 2869 Broadway, New York, NY, USJoin us for an in-person Esperanto meetup at Qahwah House Broadway for conversation and a fun literary discussion!
This session is open to all levels—total beginners, casual learners, and fluent speakers alike.
☕ For beginners:
Practice greetings, introductions, and simple small talk in a relaxed, friendly space. No experience needed — we’ll help you start speaking right away!
📖 For intermediate and advanced speakers:
Our optional reading this week is “La mopso de lia onklo” (The Pug of His Uncle), a short humorous-gothic story by R. M. Chase, published in 1909 by the American Esperantist Company. It’s one of the earliest pieces of original Esperanto fiction written in the U.S.!
You can read it free on Vikifontaro:

We’ll chat about favorite parts, funny expressions, and how the author used early Esperanto style — no homework required, but reading ahead is encouraged if you’d like to join the discussion!
All are welcome — come to practice, learn, or just enjoy a cup of coffee and good company.
