[lojban-beginners] Microsoft Reader Lojban Dictionaries (was RE: Re: Seasons' Greetings)

["Michael Aldridge" <mikael@orcon.net.nz>]

Thanks for that. I'll start creating a little resource list based on
what you guys are saying.

In the meantime, I got frustrated and so I created my own dictionaries
- English to Lojban and Lojban to English - as Microsoft Reader
dictionaries.  If you're interested let me know (i.e. e-mail me) and
I'll send to you.  I took the word list out of the LearnFast software
which has about 6,000-8,000 entries and wrote a small piece of
software to create these dictionaries.  And the great thing about
Microsoft Reader is that it works on the PocketPC as well as under
Windows.

Now I can approach learning this language properly. Next task is to
learn the top 100 words. Once I've got that in you'll be able to use
HandyCards on it, which works on the PocketPC and under Windows.

As I said earlier I've got my own language learning utilities for
Windows which work for me a bit better than what I've seen.  (But
Philology is my hobby.)

Cheers
M

I'm not the one you asked, but I used the red book (CLL) to learn
the grammar (I don't reccomend it, really) and SuperMemo for PalmOS
for the vocabulary.

You mean besides the gismu and cmavo word lists?  Take a look at
