[lojban-beginners] A0: the first words
Hi everybody,
I've completed a list of words that I reckon most
important for a beginner to learn (no matter the
target language). Please find this list (some 150
words and phrases) in the attached HTML file.
I would appreciate if someone could check the
Lojban equivalents I've come up with. There are
also a few words that I have not been able
to translate into Lojban myself: for instance
the words "neighbo(u)r", "later", "today" and
"straight ahead". Any help with these is very
welcome, too.
By the way, this list of "first words" contains
columns for German and French, too. So you may
even learn some basic vocabulary in these two
languages ;-)
Right now, this list is part of my personal learning
process. But I plan to create an e-learning tool for
beginners from it. And I would like this to feature
sound. So that learners can actually listen to
these words online... This might take a few months.
What do you think about this project?
Has anyone ever attempted something similar here?
Or would like to share his/her experience?
Cheers, Martin
