Message-ID: <9l1op2+k2ts@eGroups.com> User-Agent: eGroups-EW/0.82 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Length: 1002 X-Mailer: eGroups Message Poster X-Originating-IP: 204.200.42.144 From: anarcholojban@yahoo.com Hello all, For the last two months have been joyfully reading over the lojban materials that are available over the internet (including the pretty tengwar script) and I've been preparing myself for actual, systematic study of the language. But, at the same time, I've also been fooling around with Esperanto, so I have a few questions to help me to decide which constructed language to buckle down with for awhile: Can anyone share there stories of learning Lojban, how far they are at, and how they enjoy it? Does any one have any good suggestions for how best to study it? I've already gone through most of the basic grammar stuff, it's more an issue of learning vocabulary. Does anyone know how to get up-to-date lessons and documents, since the official webpage hasn't been updated in a year? What is the state of Lojbanistan? How many people, and fluent speakers, are people happy speaking it? Thank you so much for working so hard on such a neat project! Jeremy Louzao
