Dear Esperanto Beginner:

I love Twitter, butI have not found a good place for a beginner to practice their Esperanto there. So, I made @praktiku.

Say hello to @praktiku and practice with me. You don’t need to be skillful, just willing to practice.

Kara Esperanto Komencanto:

Mi amas Twitter, sed mi ne trovis sekura placo por komencantoj praktiki sian Esperanton tie. Do, mi faris @praktiku.

Diru saluton al @praktiku, kaj praktiku kun mi. Vi ne bezonas esti lerta, nur volanta praktiki.

EDIT: As of Monterrey Apple has completely locked down the files you need to edit.

There are 2 ways I know of to do this, and neither of them is as good.

1. use TextExpander. You can tell it that when you type cx to “expand” it to ĉ. You’ll probably have to copy the character you want from here or any other page with it. Then do the same for all the other characters that need ˆ. Here is a public snippet group with the Esperanto Diacritics that I’ve put together. Just type cx to get ĉ, and so on for all the characters that use the ˆ or ˘ diacritics.
2. use Keyman. They specificaly have a QWERTY Esperanto keyboard layout. However it’s not what you think. It doesn’t give you press-and-hold menu, and it doesn’t actually let you type a ĉ. what it does, is exactly the same thing as Text Expander, only with +h or +x. Basically, what you get is an incredibly limited free version of Text Expander, that only works with the QWERTY keyboard layout.

In short, buy Text Expander, because you’re going to get a ton of other cool functionality and it’ll work regardless of what keyboard layout you use.
