First to post, at least!  Not too sure about meeting up directly, since my time is severely limited, but who knows!

Eywa ngahu! ^-^

@ Kiliyä: Just out of curiosity, how'd you come up with a transaltion for Australia? Just a guess, or was there a certain way you did it?

@ Scottzilla: It's all about practice, as if you were learning any other language. If you did a language in high school, i'd recommend digging up one of those old text books and looking at how they're set out.

I'd recommend downloading the memory card progam jmemorize: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmemorize/
For vocab, I reckon you should go with the list of the learnna'vi website: http://www.learnnavi.org/navi-vocabulary/
Select a few of the basics: something from the connectors list, plus words for 'yes', 'no' etc. No more than 5-10 words at a time, write them all into the jmemorize program and learn them. Then move onto the next lot.

At the same time, it's important to learn some grammar too, so just deal with a little at a time, and you can go through it like vocab everyday. The first thing to get down is spelling and pronounciation. If you look around on the site, there's some good links to pronounciation sites and stuff.
Hope that helped!

Hi there again!  Sorry, got distracted by a new baby in the house...

Anyhoo, Ostreylie is really as close to the Na'vi spelling of Australia as I could get.  Otherwise it's Awstreylia, but the sound at the end of it isn't that long-a sound, more like an e.  And we don't start it with an aw, but an o. (Ulte ayoengìl plltxe "Ostrayn")

Maybe if you're from Australia, you can put Olo' Ostreylie in your profile somewhere!
