He also might make a few > errors, but few detect them, and his written Lojban is of high quality. Nick Nicholas has a web page that is written in a number of languages including lojban. He also includes a sound file welcoming people in these languages including lojban. It was my first chance to hear spoken lojban and he sounded quite fluent to me :) Regards, Chris Double.
