The Crash Course in Lojban: The Journey

La Bangu - The Realization of Lojban

The Journey is the largest project for La Bangu. It consists of:

1. The The Crash Course in Lojban

• It's a continuation of La Gleki's introduction to Lojban but it also uses appropriate parts of L4B, Wave lessons and CLL as well as different insights from IRC residents and textbooks on other languages.
• It tries not to use Lojbanic terminology much. It explains most Lojbanic terms in ordinary language (e.g. tanru are compound verbs etc.)
• It is to be written in native languages of learners. The first edition is to be written in English.
• Examples of its parts: "Lojban as a simple language for everyday use", "Lojban compared to specific features in other languages".
• It has a small dictionary as an addendum that gives examples to every basic brivla and cmavo. Some less used cmavo and gismu are not included.
• La Bangu: dictionary

2. Lojban in slides

Somewhat an superfluous to 1. However, most people usually prefer to change from one textbook to another. That's why we provide this alternative.

Lojban in slides.

2.2. "Speak Lojban!" course

Primarily a phrasebook.

3. Interactive stuff

• Audio recordings
• Audio applications ala Flash apps (but on HTML5) showing the pronounciation of Lojban sounds
• Video introductions

4. La Bangu: stories in La Bangu

Different texts for beginners. Not ready: Jokes' book

5. ELG

The full reference grammar. It is an optional part, it is not to be included into all published editions. And the goal is that it is to be written in Lojban. "Lojban for logicians", "Math in Lojban"

6. Lojban Expertise Test

An exam that is to be developed

Auxiliary resources
