From: Lindar To: lojban X-Original-Sender: lindarthebard@yahoo.com Reply-To: lojban@googlegroups.com Precedence: list Mailing-list: list lojban@googlegroups.com; contact lojban+owners@googlegroups.com List-ID: List-Post: , List-Help: , List-Archive: Sender: lojban@googlegroups.com List-Subscribe: , List-Unsubscribe: , Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I have recently re-stumbled upon a website which was suggested to me when I was still interested in learning Japanese (and had the will to put effort into learning it). http://lang-8.com/ is a fantastic learning platform wherein users blog in the language they would like to learn, and speakers of that language can correct these blog posts for grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. This seems like a fun and interactive way to help new people in the Lojban community learn how to properly employ grammatical concepts in the language as they learn them through our new learning materials and IRC lessons. I've already encouraged several people to sign up and start blogging, and I've even e-mailed the staff to ask for support for Lojban. One unfortunate part of this is that the website design and UI is a little bit difficult to get around, but once you've adjusted and figured out where things are, it's actually quite fun. You may find yourself correcting posts which are in English (or whatever other languages you speak) as well. So head on over to http://lang-8.com/ and sign up for an account. You can find me by going to Lang-8 Contents > Lang-8 Language Match > Search: la .lindar. and then be sure to add me as a friend, and look at my friends list to find other jbopre to befriend. Let's see how this works and if we can make it fun. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
