Revision as of 14:17, 23 December 2014

This page hosts a collection of short, conversational recordings of spoken lojban, in the style of Pimsleur or other audio-focused language courses. Each dialogue is a short skit pertaining to a certain situation, and is accompanied by a list of relevant vocab words.

Because this resource is still in development, recordings or translations for each of the dialogues may not be available at this point. If you'd like to assist with completing or expanding this resource, please feel free to contribute to this page.


Ideas

gleki:

in every new lessons there should be two dialogues. the first is a modified version of the new one from the previous lesson mixed with words from even earlier lessons + a completely new situation

kmir:

one thing i noticed about pimsleur dialogues, which I quite liked from a learner's perspective, is that often they include mistakes and corrections could be a useful feature to emulate


Todo: An audio dialogue resource

  • Proof-read and improve kmir's dialogues for naturalness of speech
  • Translate borrowed dialogues
  • Extract and provide vocab lists for each dialogue.
  • Begin recording and uploading dialogues in any order. Preferably with two actors.

Future: a Pimsleur-style audio lesson format

  • Try to order the dialogues into some kind of procession, with common vocab words between each. This reintroduces previous vocab as mentioned by gleki in the above notes.
  • Create alternate versions of each dialogue to act as the revision step of the next lesson (see gleki's note). Alternate versions should deliberately include vocab from previous lessons for repetition learning.
  • Record alternate dialogues
  • A narrator? In Pimsleur, the narrator guides the listener on a breakdown of a dialogue they have listened to. Sentances are reapproached from various angles to create oral drills.
  • Record the narrator if desired, leave gaps for listener out-loud response.
  • Compile into a full audio-lesson resource and release.
