Useful handouts for activists

For handouts, I suggest you look at the items on ELNA’s websiteunder “Get your red hot posters” (not my title! :-))here. In particularI’ve found these to be useful:

• The One-PageHandy-Dandy Esperanto Startup Kit -- for people who are interestedin learning more about the language. This has a small vocabulary, basicendings, pronunciation guide, and table of correlatives all on onesheet. You can even use this for an instant class. (Double-sided. Isuggest printing on bright paper.)

• “Thatworks!” -- a revised version of an older brochure. Lots oftext about the language problem and what Esperanto offers. Legal-sizepaper (8-1/2 x 14),double sided. (I recommend white paper for this; it has lots of text.)

• “Frenchconjugations.” I intended this as a poster, but it’sbeen surprisingly useful to demonstrate how much easier Esperanto is.When you tell people that they can learn Esperanto in a quarter of thetime, and they wonder how, just show them this! Note that the Frenchconjugations are almost exactly parallel to those in Spanish or Latin(and probably to Italian also) for those who haven’t studiedFrench. (One side. I print this on hot-pink paper!)

• “English is Tough Stuff” -- amusing and demonstrates one of theproblems with English. (One side. Use colored paper; I use canary.)

• “Questionsand Answers about Esperanto” -- sort of a FAQ. Intended toturn activists into instant experts, at least for the most commonquestions that we get. For activists doing table displays or otherpublicity. (About 25 pages; print on anything you like since youwon’t be handing it out.)

• TheBeerPoster. This is just ridiculously popular. If you hand these out,you’ll hear “Hey, I need that!” from people. (Onesided. I recommend offset printing on white glossy paper; it’smore expensive but it looks and feelsofficial.)
