And after Robin asked me, I take back my if-and-only-if clause in my
offer to help.  I'll arrange for getting any needed donations to get
your students copies of the CLL as part of Robin's above offer, I'll
be happy to proofread or edit material you've developed (something I
think there is a lot of community support for doing, actually), and will
also be more than happy to convert, upload, or translate material you
develop to get it online at lojban.org.

I've also spent a fair bit of time working on a pedagogy for
teaching Lojban.  If you reach a point where you're not sure what
your best teaching order is I'm happy to relate my own experience in
the hope that it helps.

I would love it if you would keep track of what works and what
doesn't, and generally what your experience teaching Lojban is like.
Help us get better at teaching ourselves.
