First of all, this is surely fun for those who already play Minecraf and I approve of any lojbanic activity there is. However, if the point is to practice Lojban and to socialize, then why not just have an normal conversation in Lojban? Some of us regularly hang out on the mumble server, and you'd certainly get more practice this way than while playing a game. Describing the environment and whatnot in the game can be a challenge, but you can equally well describe the real-life environment of where you are and what you've done during the day etc. That said, I do not want to discourage you or anybody else from doing this, I just think that just plain mumble would be more efficient (*if* the point is to get better at lojban). I think you at least need voice chat in minecraft to really profit. I also think that practicing a langauge only once a month is not at all enough. The most effective method would be to speak Lojban on irc daily and to have mumble conversations at least a few times a week. mu'o mi'e la selpa'i -- pilno zo le xu .i lo dei bangu cu se cmene zo lojbo .e nai zo lejbo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
