Y gwerslyfr Esperanto cyntaf erioed yn Gymraeg
 
Mae'r gwerslyfr cyntaf yn Gymraeg i ddysgu'r iaith ryngwladol Esperanto newydd ymddangos. Arweinlyfr 36 o dudalennau i Esperanto yw'r Mini-Cwrs, yn cynnwys deg o wersi, ymarferion darllen a geirfa. Y gŵr sy'n gyfrifol am y fenter yw Harry Barron o Fachynlleth. 
 
Iaith yw Esperanto a gyflwywyd yn 1887 gan Dr. L.L. Zamenhof yn sgil blynyddoedd o waith. Cynigiodd ef Esperanto fel ail iaith a fyddai'n caniatáu i bobl sydd â gwahanol ieithoedd brodorol gyfathrebu, gan gadw eu hieithoedd a'u diwylliannau eu hunain yr un pryd. Nid yw Esperanto'n ceisio disodli'r un iaith arall; gweithreda fel iaith gyffredin. Cyhoeddwyd yr arweinlyfr bychan cyntaf i'r iaith yn 1910, a chyhoeddwyd geiriadur Cymraeg-Esperanto, Esperanto-Cymraeg yn 1985. 
 
Mae'r Mini-Cwrs Esperanto ar gael am £1.50 a £0.50 cludiant gan Ffederasiwn Esperanto Cymru, 8 Vardre View, Deganwy, CONWY, LL31 9TE, Cymru.

The first ever Esperanto text book appears in Welsh
 
The first ever text book in Welsh designed to teach the international language Esperanto has just been published. The Mini-Cwrs is a 36 page guide to Esperanto, consisting of ten lessons, some reading exercises and a vocabulary. The man behind the new booklet is Harry Barron of Machynlleth.
 
Esperanto is a language introduced in 1887 by Dr. L.L. Zamenhof after years of development. He proposed Esperanto as a second language that would allow people who speak different native languages to communicate, yet at the same time retain their own languages and cultural identities. Esperanto doesn't replace anyone's language but simply serves as a common language. The first tiny guide to the language was published in 1910, and a two-way dictionary in Esperanto and Welsh was published in 1985.
 
Mini-Cwrs Esperanto is available for £1.50 plus £0.50 postage from Esperanto Federation of Wales, 8 Vardre View, Deganwy, CONWY, LL31 9TE, Wales, U.K.
