To my knowledge, most or = all of Lojban is public domain.

Why don't we start with a = sort of road map; figure out key vocab and grammar? Then we can decide = order. Or just borrow order from Lojban for Beginners, bearing in mind = the byfy changes to the grammar since then.

Honestly, I think it would = be a good idea to just have a standard level division of Lojban.=A0Similar= to how we have Spanish 1 - 5 classes. Sort of break Lojban vocabulary = and grammar up into 4 or 5 grades, and standardize from = there.

I'd = help put together lessons as well, though my graphic skills aren't = much.

We need more things like = that- The pictures were very helpful, plus there's the

will /immediately/ know what blanu, finpe, and such mean, regardless = of

I've always felt that what the Lojban community = needs, or at least, should
eventually develop, is a Lojban teaching = resource entirely in Lojban, which
starts simply, such as the site's = "coi rodo", giving a person the needed

I can read Lojban texts = fairly well, but I still have to refer to my
Lojban-English = dictionary to actually /understand/ it, and my reason is because
I'm = having a difficult time remembering what the freaking words = /mean/.
(Although I doubt I'll ever forget blanu, xunre, or finpe are = again.)
