Note that the book [http://lojban.org/publications/cll/cll_v1.1_xhtml-no-chunks/ The Complete Lojban Language] is still considered by quite a few new learners as the best tutorial although by design this wasn't meant to be any tutorial.


Since 2014 new methods of learning Lojban are being developed. The goal of them is to have faster resources for learning Lojban.
Namely, the order of chapters may seem to be arbitrary to those who wish to use this book to study Lojban. So one recommendation is ... to read various sections from the book randomly. If you don't understand something skip to another part.


Most people usually prefer to change from one textbook to another. That's why Lojban community is providing alternatives.
If you still wish to try something else here are some newish tutorials.

'''The Crash Course method''' is a new method of teaching Lojban that:
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
#uses a simple style of speaking Lojban with fewer compound words ([[lujvo]]), more usage examples and answers to "How to say ..." questions. It also carefully selects new styles (enriching expressivenes) that are popular in the active Lojban community.
|-
#tries not to use Lojbanic terminology much. It explains most Lojbanic terms in ordinary language (e.g. '''lo [[tanru]]''' are ''compound verbs'' etc.) that the learner uses from birth or school.
