# Support Esperantopedia Source: https://esperantopedia.org/support/ Language: en Updated: 2026-10-29 > Esperantopedia is an independent guide to Esperanto in 17 languages. If it helped you, you can support it with a correction, a share or a donation. Esperantopedia is an independent guide to Esperanto: a course, grammar, phrases, a dictionary with hundreds of thousands of pages and tools, in 17 languages. ## Why does the site ask for support? Running the site costs very little money but a lot of time. The domain costs about 11 US dollars a year, and hosting is free. What takes time is the work itself: checking facts in two sources, translating every page into more languages, improving the dictionary and answering the messages people send. A donation is a way of saying *dankon* – "thank you" – and it helps us add new languages sooner. ## Other ways to help (just as valuable) - **Tell us about mistakes.** Every page has a "Report an error" button at the bottom. We read every message and fix confirmed errors. - **Suggest what is missing.** A topic, a word, a tool, a language – use the same button and choose "Idea or missing content". - **Share a page** with someone who is curious about Esperanto, or link to us from your blog, school site or club page. - **Learn and use Esperanto.** The language lives because people speak it. Start with the [free course](https://esperantopedia.org/learn/course/) or the [first 100 words](https://esperantopedia.org/learn/vocabulary/). ## Common questions ### Is Esperantopedia free? Yes. All pages, the dictionary and the tools are free to use. Donations do not unlock anything; they help us keep working on the site. ### Who runs Esperantopedia? Esperantopedia is an independent project. It is not part of any Esperanto organisation, company or government. Our sources and licences are listed on the [sources page](https://esperantopedia.org/sources/). ### What happens to donations? They pay for the domain and support the time spent on new languages, the dictionary and corrections.
