How to use this course#

This course teaches Lojban through situation-first immersion.

Every lesson follows the same rhythm:

1. Read the Opening Dialogue passively. Let the English column carry the meaning. Don't stop to memorise anything yet.
2. Say each Lojban line aloud (or sub-vocalise). Even in a written course, hearing the sounds in your head builds patterns faster.
3. Study the New Words table — each lesson introduces only 3–5 new words, explained right after the dialogue.
4. Read the Grammar Note (if present). It only appears when a new structure is used.
5. Work through the Practice Dialogue. A second mini-scene reuses the new words alongside recently learned ones.
6. Do the Anticipation Prompts. Each prompt is a small table: English in the first column, the model Lojban answer in the second — cover that column, say your Lojban aloud, then check.
7. Don't skip the Spaced Recall section. It brings back vocabulary from earlier lessons at scientifically timed intervals — the engine that makes words stick.
8. Try the Challenge under spaced recall — same table shape (prompt then Lojban in the second column): one harder sentence that weaves in older material with what you just learned.

If something feels unclear, keep reading — context usually resolves it within a few more lines. Ask questions in 💬 the live chat.
