I see that Duolingo has been mentioned a couple times here already, but=20
those topics didn't get much response, and things have changed a bit in the=
=20
past couple years.

With Duolingo <https://www.duolingo.com/>, you start out learning and=20
translating simple phrases and sentences, then work your way up to longer=
=20
texts. The process is kind of "gamified" in that you earn points and things=
=20
as you go along. They also can send you reminders to practice a little bit=
=20
every day. I think Duolingo would be a good way to learn Lojban =E2=80=93=
=20
certainly, the interactive courses are better and easier than studying=20
flash cards by yourself.

Duolingo is free, and the content for new language courses is generated by=
=20
the community. They've recently added other constructed languages --=20
Esperanto and even Klingon -- so if enough of us express interest, there's=
=20
no reason we can't have Lojban be part of the list. You can go to the Duoli=
ngo=20
forum <https://www.duolingo.com/discussion> to talk about adding Lojban and=
=20
if you know enough to help, apply here=20
<https://incubator.duolingo.com/apply>.


I really think this would be a good idea because it would give Lojban more=
=20
exposure, and help new people learn in a more interactive way.
