Amherst Esperanto is a chapter of the Esperanto Society of New England dedicated to support learning and speaking the International Language Esperanto in Amherst, Massachusetts.
We have a weekly social hour, Mondays at 6:00pm (beginners at 5:30). We usually meet at the Souper Bowl in Downtown Amherst. If you create an account here, you can propose locations for upcoming meetings. We are currently just engaging in light discussion at our meetings, but sometimes we either Gerda Malaperis or Lasu Min Paroli Plu, the companion book to Gerda Malaperis. Join us!

A very nice article about us appeared today in the UMass student newspaper. Kudos to Andrea Murray for such a nice article!
There is a new Alternate Reality Game, The Lost Ring that is using Esperanto as one of its puzzles. People are finding chapters of a secret codex that has the key to saving the worlds! They need to be found and decoded. It was something to do with a lost Olympic sport. At our Tuesday evening meetings (5:30pm in the Blue Wall) we're translating the chapters from the secret codex. Join us and help save the worlds!
