My Name Is ...


Introduction

First contact! We learn how to say “hello” and how to introduce ourselves. And I think this is also one of the very first podcasts of the LojbanPod team. At least Leo seems to feel a bit uncomfortable in front of the mic. Well, there is always a first time. The keyword is llamarse – to call oneself.
