[lojban-beginners] Introduction

[Jack Wright <jackrw@gmail.com>]

Hi

I stumbled across lojban a few days ago when I was looking at a list of conlangs. What a beautiful language!

I study languages out of interest and I'm especially interested in
those which force me to think in a different way to English, Spanish
etc.  So I've enjoyed most Finnish and Japanese.  lojban
looks to have that kind of different structure, but none of the
irregular verbs (Finnish) and character problems (Japanese)...

A couple of questions on resources: I use a PDA flashcard programme
(Stackz - v good by the way) - are there any sources of words (e.g.
CSV) that I can adapt?  Secondly, for the PDA are there any ebooks
(MS Reader) that I can use?  I've pasted in the draft textbook but
it doesn't have an index etc.

cheers!
