Re: [lojban] Ease of learning for different native languages



It all depends on textbooks. One can explain different features of Lojban in different order depending on the natlang in question.
E.g. I can see the need in explaining {co'i} earlier for Russian speakers than for English speakers so that the first ones find more familiar features sooner.
The same for free word order which in some ways is more limited in English and thus not that relevant.
May be a few more features but these two are most noticeable.

More distant languages might require reworking the order to a larger degree.

Someone asked me on twitter: "When learning a non-ambiguous language like Lojban, do Germans have an easier time than native English speakers?".

Not sure I've ever seen this discussed. Do we have any native German (or other languages) speakers present? How easy/hard was learning Lojban for you.

Any thoughts or impressions on how non-english languages aid/hinder learning lojban vis-a-vis it's lack of ambiguity?

Otherwise, the first thing that jumped out at me was the similarity to German with the lujvo system.
