have Packages 1 and 2, and require some vocabulary learning
technique, which you must order separately.
gismu are the Lojban root words.
rafsi are the combining forms of the Lojban gismu
roots. cmavo are the words
that govern the grammatical structure of a Lojban sentence. Attitudinals
are cmavo that indicate the speaker's emotional
and discursive attitudes toward what is being said.
Vocabulary and Other Study Materials
You need a method to learn the vocabulary. We recommend using one of
the LogFlash programs if you have an appropriate computer. See the
listings below for computer-oriented Lojbanists. Otherwise, we recommend
using the flash cards. Note that the flash cards date to the first
baseline and are outdated as to place structures and rafsi. As such, we
have reduced the price by $5 per set.

List $10.00 for first set
