Oh my. I don't think Lojban in latin looks wonderful or anything, but
seriously? Compared to bash, Lojban in latin is like a Van Gogh
painting.

The sounds are the same in Lojban as in English, so I never had a
problem, but...

I learned probably a couple hundred words in Lojban before realizing
that "c" wasn't pronounced like either "k" or "s". It took me a *long*
time to unlearn all that. You have to unlearn the individual words
separately, too.
