I've just started learning too. What material are you using to learn?

I've got the lojban vocabulary trainer which seems like a waste of
time, so I'll probably start plugging vocab into my own Excel based
software which I use to learn other languages.

The next issue is a dictionary - does one exist? I've tried to find
the online one to no avail. All I wind up with is the opportunity to
enter new words not look anything up.

I'm in process of converting the grammar into Microsoft Reader. If you
want it, let me know. The text is in and can be read in it's entirety
in Microsoft Reader, it's just a matter of changing over the
hyperlinks, getting a nice cover page and other tiny bits and pieces.

Lastly, just a comment. I'd love to see someone translate the grammar
into Lojban.

   Hmm...  "Celebrating the day approximately a fortnight before 
perihelion" seems to me to be the appropriate event.  I just started 
learning lojban this week, though, so I'll leave lujvo creation to the 
more experienced readers.
