I'm a Lojban beginner, and I have a history of having a really hard time learning new languages (I flunked out of German in college). I think Nick's lessons are perfect, and not at too high a level. I've had no problem comprehending the lessons so far, and I have been able to read quite a bit of Lojban on this mailing list using the word lists from the Lojban file archive and the knowledge gained from the lessons. I'm only on lesson 6 though, so I can't speak for the later lessons. The only corrections I've sent to Nick so far are typos and minor errors. Publishing Nick's lessons in a paper-back book would be a really good thing, and I know I'd buy a copy, and recommend it to other Lojban beginners. --=20 name: Anthony Roach homepage: http://www.electriceyeball.com email: aroach@electriceyeball.com PGP: http://www.electriceyeball.com/aroach.asc --EVF5PPMfhYS0aIcm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7VOEO9Gr5tGjesqYRAujJAJ4xynV4ck0RZSncpkt2ZFJsmkJ63QCfWXcB okDeS1wqbHs+dXM4BGVJT7I= =Y+OL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --EVF5PPMfhYS0aIcm--
