I am writing a Lojban tutorial purely with pictures. It is *loosely* based on the *A Quick Tour of Lojban Grammar, With Diagrams* section of *The Complete Lojban Language*. The idea is: * You shouldn't have to translate to and from your natural language, or any other language you speak, when using/learning Lojban. * We shouldn't have to translate all the Lojban books to every language. It's just infeasible. * You should be able to have an "intuitive", that is, kind of raw, (and here is where it is kind of experimental) unbaised interpretation of the graphics and the meaning of the words and grammar. If you want to contribute graphics/sound, reply or email me directly, or talk in #lojban. If you have ideas/constructive criticism, do the same. Please get your friends to have a look at this (work-in-progress, so it will change frequently and get bigger) page and study the pictures, and tell me what they interpret these words to mean. If they have trouble, it's probably my fault and I'm not getting the pictures right, so don't worry. http://jbotcan.org/xractu/xractu/xractu.html Cheers, Christopher --00504502d2b04a4133046517d1a6 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I am doing a little experiment.
