What lojban learning materials are available in electronic form?
Dean C. Gahlon mentions on-line text-book lessons:
    >Possibly the draft textbook lessons would help this;
    >I don't know, as I've never seen them, and haven't up

and Nick Nicholas gives a striking recommendation of "level 1
materials":

Please - how can I get these?

Until I get such materials, I am trying not to ask questions
and to ask for explanations of, say:
    From: lojbab@com.grebyn:
    >la  names
    >le  the thing described as
    >lo  the thing that really is
    >lai names mass
    >lei description mass
    >loi true mass
    >la'i the set of named
    >le'i the set of described
    >lo'i the set of really is
- though I'd dearly like to know.
