Interestingly, that's *exactly* the goal I had when I started. I'm not sure when that was, exactly; somewhere between 7 and 10 years ago, which is rather scary. > (Hopefully in a year?) Not likely, sorry. If Lojban is not your second language, it's certainly possible for you to learn it well enough that fast. The problem is vocabulary: we're a bit short on it. If that ends up being something you want to help with, that would be great. > And hey, maybe studying Lojban will help me learn Spanish at > school.

Take it from me: (1) you are a geek; (2) this isn't a bad thing; (3) your brother would find something else to tease you about if this wasn't available. > mi'e .rain. mi na jimpe la .lojban I suggest "rai,n". > .a'o e'u sidju You probably want ".e'o" or ".ai" instead of .e'u there. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
