I suspect that my last message did not go through, because I sent it to
lojban-beginners@chain.digitalkingdom.org. I might be wrong; if so, my
apologies. That said, here is my previous message:

This is my first time posting here, and I think my question is fairly
simple. For some quick background, I'm big on interactivity in learning,
especially with languages; I find that once you have some basic foundation,
just trying to write a few sentences a day in the language is a good way to
improve while still having some fun. I've done this a few times, but this
time I think I've gotten a bit stuck.

In this case, the school that my friend, whom I'll call "Cat", attends is
closing down. My first attempt at translating this was:
le la mlatus. ckule cu se ganlo
When I went back and re-translated this, I got more or less "Cat's school is
prevented access to". (The poor English being needed to keep "Cat's school"
in the subject, as far as I can see.)  This isn't quite right, though; her
school is a place, but it is also an organization, one which will not
continue to exist after it closes down. And I don't easily see a way to
describe this idea. Do you all have any ideas?
