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'). I've been doing it manually: i copy down about 75 words each day while i'm at work with internet access, then when i go home i memorize them (both ways), write the words really small on a piece of paper to review later, and the next day do it again. I'm up to over 800 words now. I hope to be "familiar" with them all by next monday or tuesday. Then i will start applying my knowledge by using lojban :) > > 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.

I'll take a look at the textbook after i've finished the reference grammar. I'm in chapter 10, and my, that's a beast of a chapter. > co'o co'o mi'e jildicnen
