[lojban-beginners] Questions from a friend

I am attempting to teach a friend of mine from school how to speak Lojban. Her native language is Russian, but she basically grew up in a Southern English community, so her thought processes, as it seems to me, are a mixture of the two cultures. A few days ago, I was trying to get her to see how the diphthongs in Lojban are in fact logical, and how the C is logical in the way it is pronounced. I think there was something else she wanted me to ask about, but I can't remember what it is. Anyways, she basically wants to know how the c is logically phonetic, (she's gotten way too used to the English c I'm guessing), but she did observe that the tc makes since if the c makes since, but she cannot grasp the need for the c to have the sh sound
