[lojban-beginners] Re: vowel length

Vowel lengths are very important in some languages,
e.g. in German. Now I wonder:

(1) Is it important in Lojban, too?

Not at all.

(2) And even if it were not *very* important, would it be
appropiate to habe arbitrarily different vowel lengths
on an e-learning site?

I don't think it's a problem.

(3) Maybe all vowels should be relatively short in Lojban?

(4) Or at least the vowel of the stressed syllable?

(5) Or may be the other way round, i.e. long vowels in the
stressed syllable?

If I had to choose, I'd say (5), but it is not necessary.
