Is lojban-beginners the best place to ask this? I'd have thought the 
lojban list would be a better place.

Bring many examples of the language - maybe Alice in Wonderland, some 
poems, some recordings. Also expect people to ask "what's the point in 
learning a fake language?" in which case you'd have to have some good 
reasons for learning and using Lojban prepared. My friends still look at 
me funny when they find out I'm learning Lojban :-).
