This probably sucks. What I attempted to say will appear in English at the end of the text. Please reply with comments.

I continue in English) I explained the basic structure of a bridi, selbri and sumti (using the English examples in the draft textbook), and introduced the concept of the brivla, giving them 30 gismu to learn at home (translated to hebrew). Next meeting I hope to let them be able to build basic bridi (or more than basic) and see some minor talk in lojban using these basic brivla and grammer rules. Bob, where are those reference grammer books, huh? =) Translation of the first part (this probably sucks sooooo much): Two days ago [how could I have done this better?] I met with some of my friends in my house in order to learn Lojban. The group consists of 7 people, and two more will join. I talked about the history of Lojban, and then we discussed the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis and some examples on how Lojban is better than English.
