Anyone who wants a task less formidable than _The Complete Lojban Language_ or
the gismu list is welcome to have a go at my beginners' course.  This would be
more of a rewrite than a translation, though, since much of it is geared towards
English speakers.  Someone offered to do a Swedish version, but I don@t know how
far he got with it.

Oh yes, and I know it's _still_ not finished.  On the rare occasions that I have
time and cognitive steam to work on it, I keep getting stuck on the connectives
lesson - it was going fine until we had all those postings about counterfactuals.
