[lojban] Re: xractu - learn Lojban with pictures

I've had a book for many years called "English through Pictures".  I bought it for the preface, which is in many languages, but the book itself is pretty good too.
 
Thanks!  I found the web site: http://www.englishthroughpictures.com/

Looking at the picture and comparing to my own Lojban slides, it's interesting to me how English forces explicit mention of present tense, and with two different words; if I were learning, say, Arabic, with similar pictures, such (crappy) grammatical nuances like that would trip (and probably did when I tried Arabic on Rosetta Stone) me up. Also, I'm not even sure the "she is here" one would make sense to me at all. I'd read it as "we are here". Hm. i'e nai ru'e bu'o

Again, thanks! It's nice to see more and more evidence that this can be effective.

i also can record any text sent this way, providing it is not obscenely long.

Roger, it ought to be phrases which are mostly one to five words in length for the most part.

Cheers,
