Karda is in Python and will eventually be a web app. We would really
like you to assist Bruce in programming it!

I wrote a similar web application for my personal use that generates simple Lojban bridi and their English equivalents and asks you to translate from English to Lojban. I'm using the temporary name Jbocpes ({lojbo cpedu} == {jbocpe}, "Lojban-asker" + {s.} to make a name). Suggestions for a better
name are welcome.

It's not very smart (i.e. it doesn't parse what you type, it generates the
most straightforward Lojban representation and expects you to type it
exactly), but it's helped me practise the simple stuff and I'm gradually improving it as my Lojban knowledge grows. The flashcard approach of rote memorisation doesn't really work for me, but interactive stuff seems to help
me a lot more.  YMMV.

Anyway, Paul Vigo's email earlier in the week made me realise that it might be
useful to other people as well, so I made it multi-user and added a
registration system. Feel free to sign up and use it as much as you want. The current vocabulary is limited, but I'm adding more as time goes by and contributions are welcome. Just don't expect too much, I'm a beginner in
Lojban and I haven't spent much time on this :).

This page is a very helpful tool for practising translation. I like how most of the words it uses are common beginner's words (words that I know) so I just end up looking up a few new words. The parsing isn't a big failing, since it gives me a correct answer at the end for each problem so I can compare the two to decide if mine was close enough.
