coi everyone! I'm new to Lojban and am looking at getting into the community and learning more about it. I'm very interested in Lojban and would like to improve my usage by immersing myself in the culture. Where is the best place to start to learn Lojban, any tips/tricks? Thanks for the help and I look forward to lojbaning with you!
coi grimlessI would suggest lurking the IRC and listening to the conversations people have (the relevant ones at least). Depending on your tolerance for technical terms you can learn by reading the Complete Lojban Language (a draft version is freely available on the lojban website) nearly front to back. A bit of a suggestion is to find a word list sorted by frequency (again available on the website) and mark or note the frequency score next to each word in the "words discussed in this section" lists. I say this because it really tells you where to pay close attention. When writing my own lojban, I use jboski (a parser) to test my syntax. Finally, I suggest using some of the learning software on the website to grow your vocabulary while you learn from the book.Have fun!Disclaimer: I am (somewhat of) a beginner too. =D

Thanks for the suggestions! I will be sure to do all of those! Thanks again and I hope to see you around.
I suggest "lojban for beginners" or "what is lojban". Both available at lojban.org . If you are interested in the lojban community, the best place is #lojban at freenode.
