''The Crash Course'' is a course being written by [[User:Gleki|la gleki]] using the feedback of people learning or speaking Lojban. You read it, report bugs or ask questions and get replies from the author or knowledgable Lojbanists.
Namely, the order of chapters may seem to be arbitrary to those who wish to use this book to study Lojban. So one recommendation is ... to read various sections from the book randomly. If you don't understand something skip to another part.
*The course tries not to use Lojbanic terminology much. It explains most Lojbanic terms in ordinary language that the learner uses from birth or school. This principle brings Lojban to people, rather than dragging people into Lojban. It adapts the teaching method to the language the student uses in everyday life. For example, for speakers of English (and most languages of Europe) The Crash Course method calls [[brivla]] "verbs", calls [[sumti]] "nouns". Although, such terms as "noun" and "verb" can mean different things in different languages they are fine for initially explaining how Lojban works.
*The course has a compact [[The Crash Course: Dictionary|dictionary]] as an addendum that gives examples for the most commonly used verbs and particles.
*{{citation needed span|The course explains new styles that are popular in the active Lojban community.|reason=ku-less style, anaphoric voi, ne+BAI referring to main bridi are everything but popular}}
*{{citation needed span|The Crash Course tries to preserve the current state of the language as much as possible.|reason=some of the usage taught is new (2016) and used only by the author}}
*{{citation needed span|The course doesn't invent any new dialects, what is explained in the course is either used by the community or formalized by the committee of planning Lojban ([[BPFK]]).|reason=Text produced by CC users stands out (subjectively mi'e la cirko)}}


The intended finalization of this course are years 2017 - 2019. Until then minor bugs can be found in it but the course is mostly already usable.
If you still wish to try something else here are some newish tutorials.
