I'll start creating a little resource list based on what you guys are saying. In the meantime, I got frustrated and so I created my own dictionaries - English to Lojban and Lojban to English - as Microsoft Reader dictionaries. If you're interested let me know (i.e. e-mail me) and I'll send to you. I took the word list out of the LearnFast software which has about 6,000-8,000 entries and wrote a small piece of software to create these dictionaries. And the great thing about Microsoft Reader is that it works on the PocketPC as well as under Windows. Now I can approach learning this language properly. Next task is to learn the top 100 words. Once I've got that in you'll be able to use HandyCards on it, which works on the PocketPC and under Windows. As I said earlier I've got my own language learning utilities for Windows which work for me a bit better than what I've seen. (But Philology is my hobby.)
