A good (IMO) idea was brought up, and I'd like your opinions on it. --> You are now talking on #lojban --- Topic for #lojban is la lojban. po'u le logji (to mi jinvi dei toi) bangu || Lojban, the Logical (we think) Language --- Topic for #lojban set by niec at Mon Apr 8 18:42:47 --> trans (~trans@a2a02274.intergate.bconnected.net) has joined #lojban mi pu viska le ninmu poi [was] klama le zarci ku'o I saw the woman who was going to the store ... ? Yeah but how do I do the 'was'? I think it's just pu but I could be wrong I don't want it to be read as 'went' we really should get someone to set up regular lojban irc lessons actually I suppose jsut don't put anything I believe the tense will carry over specifying past tense in the relative would push that farther back It may be a matter of just writing up questions before hand, and letting the certu answer them when they're online or using the jboxelmri certu? well I mean lessons like. someone knowledgable comes in chooses a topic and explains it at a set time so everyone can be here and ask questions and we all read the relevant chapter in the refgram beforehand? yes! ;D and it just goes round in a cycle so if we do it twice weekly, it'll take about 10 weeks before we start again actually more like 9 weeks and then after each lesson we take like 10 random words from the gismu list and some random cmavo and lujvo and practice vocabulary * rizen sends this in to the mailing list to see what people have to say about it Thoughts, comments, questions, volunteers? -- rizen
