First 100 Arabic Words - FAIL
So, I was just saying how I had gotten the book called Your First 100 Words for Arabic. I had taken a good look at the first few pages and generally flipped through it for content. What I failed to see was how useless their list of the first 100 words actually is. There are no pronouns, no verbs, few adverbs, no prepositions, the list goes on of what is *not* on the list. For me, there are certain words that you must learn first thing in any language. You just don't feel like you're making any progress by just learning a list of 100 nouns. At most, you can point at things and say the word. That's just playing at learning in my opinion. If I wanted to sound like a 3 year old, I'd drink a whole lot more at inappropriate times. So, I'm going to put together my own list of words I think you have to learn first in any language to feel like you're making any progress. I'm going to put them into a separate post so it's easier to find when searching.
