don't worry, the beginnings of lojban can be easily grasped if you're
not as lazy as me.

it might give you a different perspective on english, at least it did
that for me :)


----

there are, however, a few fundamental flaws in your knowledge of lojban:
first: it's not s'oi, it's coi and the c makes a sound similar to the
one most english "sh"'s do.
second: the ' can only occur between vocals, so your cmene should be
tomys not t'omys. it also completely replaces h, so it's mi'e not mihe.

if you find the time you should definitly have a look at the #lojban irc
channel on the freenode network!

hope to see you there
  - Timo
