lo valsi porsi [Word Lists]

Vocabulary in "lo do ckiku ma zvati" is learned as lists of related words. Rather than learning a single word (e.g., "djica" is "want"), you learn a series of related words together. (e.g., ".i djica .i ponse .i dunda .i lebna" is "want, have, give, take") Practicing groups of words together helps anchor them to each other, making any single word easier to recall.

There is a tadji for practicing word lists in the game: Technique: Craig's List. As well, there are a set of word lists used to teach the vocabulary in the core conversation

Lojban is particularly suited to this tadji, as cmavo are divided into selma'o, which in many cases follow a predictable pattern. (e.g., the selma'o FA contains fa, fe, fi, fo, fu.) In this case, fa'i and fai, which are also in selma'o FA, would be added to the list later, as the player became more fluent.

This stresses another important point of tadji lo valsi porsi: existing lists can be expanded during play, and new lists created as new concepts are introduced into a game.
