• Anki is a free and open source program for "spaced repetition", an effective learning technique. It has a built in system for sharing "decks" where you can get Lojban word lists for training: File / Download / Shared Deck, search for "lojban". If this fails for some reason, you can also download and open the deck manually: gismu-frequency.anki. A deck with cmavo is also available (or you can download it from here: Lojban - cmavo.anki), as is a deck with basic number cmavo (lojban-namcu-cmavo.anki). Anki also has a web-interface that can be synchronised with a local deck.

Ubuntu/Debian specific

jbofihe - A Lojban parser This is available in Debian simply by installing the jbofihe package through apt-get. Ubuntu users might first need to enable universe. Google knows how. lojban-common - Lojban word-lists This package installs the standard Lojban word lists into /usr/share/lojban-common. It's available about the same way as jbofihe above. camxes - A better Lojban parser, written in Java This package isn't yet available from Debian/Ubuntu. However, it is available via apt.

Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://www.lojban.org/debian/ custom main

deb-src http://www.lojban.org/debian/ custom main

Then apt-get update and install away.

Note: That apt-repository is signed by Ted Reed's GnuPG key. You may get warnings about it. In order to tell apt that you trust Ted, do the following: gpg --recv-key D18C1C64 --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net

gpg -a --export D18C1C64 | sudo apt-key add -
