Description
In {lo do ckiku ma zvati}, vocabulary is learned in lists. It is easier to learn new vocabulary in groups of similar words, rather than individually. Learning vocabulary in groups helps you anchor the new words to each other, making an individual word easier to recall.
Individual words are never reviewed in isolation. Instead, word lists are introduced and reviewed as a unit.
There are several standard word lists ({valsi porsi}) that are taught as part of the ?core conversation.
How to Use
When you need to review a vocabulary word, review the entire list that contains that word.
When you are ready to learn a new vocabulary word, it is appended to a word list related to new word.
When completely new concepts are introduced, the words pertaining to that concept are introduced together as a list.
Example
In trying to express {mi djica tu'a lo grana pe do} ("I want your stick"), you can't quite remember how to say {djica}, so you ask for a reminder. Rather than being given {djica} ("want") in isolation, you stop to review the complete list: {.i zo djica ce'o zo ponse ce'o zo dunda ce'o zo lebna} ("want, have, give, take").
When expanding your vocabulary, you are taught a new word: {canja} ("trade"). Instead of being taught this word in isolation, it is added to a word list you already know: {.i zo djica ce'o zo ponse ce'o zo dunda ce'o zo lebna ce'o zo canja} ("want, have, give, take, trade").
