There are various mailing lists which you can sign up for at http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/; in particular I reccomend the lojban-beginners list. I am copying this e-mail to the main list because I know there is at least one Russian Lojbanist; in fact most of the gismu list has been translated I think. You can practice speaking in real-time by joining the Lojban IRC channel, either by going to irc.lojban.org channel #lojban or http://www.lojban.org/irc/ There are also some of us who try to have phone conversations. None of them are near you, but I'd be willing to pay for calls to you if you're really serious about learning. > P.S.
