No! Just recognition testing. It means I test my recognition (Lojban -> english) on 600 words. Since I've been through the whole set I 'know' them all. (More accurately 'am familiar'). > And does Logflash go both ways (lojban -> english and > english -> lojban)? Yes, recognition == (lobjan -> english) recollection == (english -> lojban) > I can't try it out right now because the only > computer i have access to is my work computer here. And is it just > gismu you're learning or is it also lujvo? The logflash I'm using just does gismu. I think it's better to get the gismu well-learnt before going on to lujvo. > I could print it out on the company printer here... *glances over his > right shoulder* Just do it A/H. I've started using the textbook too (read chapter 1 twice). There's a lot of overlap between the textbook, reference grammar and mini-lessons, but this is an excellent way of reinforcing stuff that would be too boring to read twice. co'o
