Learning with a textbook
You can learn Esperanto the traditional way by using a textbook. A range of textbooks are available. You'll find probably the biggest range at http://katalogo.uea.org/ That website is in Esperanto. In the box Kategorio select Lerniloj and you'll get a long list. Another good place is the bookshop of the Esperanto association of Britain and you can easily contact them in English http://www.esperanto-gb.org/eab/bookcat.htm Most of the time you'll find a few textbooks on ebay or amazon.com
Children's stories in Esperanto. The same story can be found on Youtube in English and many different languages.

Learning at a summer school in Australia or overseas
The most interesting way of learning Esperanto might be to take part in a summerschool. Usually there are classes in the morning, excursions in the afternoon, theatre, singing, talks in the evening. That way you can spend a couple of weeks hearing only Esperanto and you make very quick progress. There is a summerschool in Australia nearly every year in January and there are some very good summerschools overseas in the United States, in France, etc. They take place usually in July or August. The picture was taken at a summerschool in Melbourne. Summerschools are suitable for people of all ages and there are classes in at least 3 levels. In March 2016 a 3-country (Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia) conference took place in Indonesia. The most recent Australian summerschool was held in Melbourne in January 2023. The next one will be in Ballarat in January 2024.
