Hi, new guy here. I've been lurking on the list for a couple weeks, and have
browsed through part of the reference grammar but not enough to, say, parse a
simple sentence. I'd be happy to give the lessons a try and report on their
apparent difficulty if someone would be so kind as to point me to their
hiding place.

The download link to the lessons may be found towards the bottom of the page, in several formats. rtf format is best for reading with Microsoft Word, and there is on line and offline HTML versions as well. Detailed comments to Nick Nicholas <nicholas@uci.edu>; my interest is in trying to find out if this is the sort of thing we want to send to people who are first expressing interest in Lojban - the book was originally intended to be part of the "Intro to Lojban" book that Nick refers to as the "brochure" on the page above, but it expanded to the point that it has to be a separate book.
