[lojban] Lojban Kids Show - lessons

[Pierre Abbat <phma@phma.optus.nu>]

What are the lessons Beta gives Alpha like? I'm sure they're totally unlike 
classroom lessons, because they're one-on-one and they're both kids.

I get a ride to church with a Mexican, and sometimes he asks me questions 
like "¿Qué es la diferencia entre morir y teñir?" ("zo mrobi'o cu frica zo 
skagau ma?"), and I have to think for a few seconds, because the question 
makes no sense until I realize he's asking about the English words. There are 
no differently spelled homophones in Lojban, but there are some minimal pairs 
and words differing by exchanging two sounds. So Alpha could ask Beta "What's 
the difference between soda and egg?" or "Which is the rat and which is the 
rabbit, again?"

Another possibility is that Beta could teach Alpha a tonguetwister and Alpha 
asks what the words mean. So Beta says "le xruki le ginxre xrixruba xu xrula 
cu xrani" and Alpha asks what "xrixruba" is, or what "xu" means when it's 
inside a tanru.
