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

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

Also, is it useful to provide literal glosses, like in CLL? I always found those helpful.
