X-Yahoo-Message-Num: 1667 Content-Length: 764 Lines: 15 As a worldclass authority (by experience only) at learning Loglan/Lojban, my suggestion is to try what I do everytime I learn this critter: pick something to write (usually translate -- but stay away from the Laotzu and Shakespeare, please) and charge into it, looking up what I need as I go along and back checking occasionally.

Then try another piece, absorbing what you have heard from the list and checking as you go along. AND join the fun on the list of jumping on the guy starting up just behind you (and eventually on the guys who jumped on you -- even great Homer nods). Have a ball! pc
