I speak Spanish, English and German. Something I hate of Current standard languages is the ambiguity of concepts or words, as you may know with words like Game, Art, Happiness, Love, Problem, Challenge, etc etc. For that reason I was adviced to learn about this language, yet I don't see it actually helps much in that area. I'm wrong? Something I don't like is that it seems longer than English, which is one of the things I like from English. Why would that be worth it? When I found about this language i was very excited, but after reading several chapters on the beginner book, I really fail to see important advantages over languages i know, in what regards to remove ambiguity of words and concepts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lojban Beginners" group.
