By the way... I live half kilometer from Universitat Pompeu Fabra, inside
Barcelona. It's nice some work made by catalan people here in the
lojban list. :)

I promised some lojban records for this weekend; sorry, but my microphone
records very bad (I thought it could record much better). If you want HiQ sound,
I'm not the chosen one.
Anyway, I'm trying to read (and record) tiki tiki tembo with some emotions shown
in the tone I speak (like a story for kids). It's a bit hard, as I'm a lojban
beginner.
When I finish recording it - I have not much time for that - I'll post something
here.
