I'm not sure what difficulties you mean. Apologies if I offended you. I suppose I should not have been so smart-alecky to reply in Lojban.

I am Philip, who is German by birth and by dwelling [i.e. who was born in Germany and who lives there], but is British by nationality." I grew up bilingually, so you can talk to me in German, too, if you prefer. There's also someone else - "biorn." or Björn Gohla ( http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~bjoern/index.html ), but I haven't seen him around in a while. I believe he's also German; he is certainly German-speaking. See also http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki- index.php?page=Meeting%20other%20lojbanists (or http://xrl.us/bf8k if that link wraps for you), which lists another couple of Lojbanists in Germany (search for "dotygu'e"). > Sorry, I am just a possible newcomer and don't understand your answer > yet.

Though Lojban is also used there occasionally, there is a lot of English. See http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/ to subscribe. But this mailing list should also be fine. > Then I won't bother lojban gurus with English questions. I'm not a guru; apologies again if I convey that impression.
