I am yet to find any good Dutch-English word lists, paid or not. Hence I make my own. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of good Dutch language learning materials. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

@rolf: Thanks for stopping by. I was surprised by how difficult it was to come across
good quality word lists as well. There's a Dutch <-> English shared Anki deck that might be OK to start with. I've recently been mining a few Android dictionary apps I bought. They needed a fair bit of cleaning up, but have generated a reserve of around 20,000 words ready to be imported into Anki. Having said that, I've rarely been disappointed with Google Translate, so your idea may hold water. Good luck with your studies.

How are you retaining all 200 words? Also- while doing these words, are you going in and
learning grammar points as well? Keep up the good work, by the way. Very inspirational. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

@Bbcatcher 08: Thanks for your kind words. I find that once I've linked them in my mind
(see half-way down Page 16 in this thread), they stay there. Anki repeats the words to me at regular intervals, so that I don't forget them. It seems this is a skill you improve at as well - it felt easier and took less time to learn words 7600 - 7800 than words 0 - 200. Currently, I'm just learning words - grammar will come later. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Are you even trying to use them yet, or just concentrating like you said, on pure
learning of the vocabulary. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

@Bbcatcher 08: Not using them, just learning them, getting to know them, and tending to
them. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Making cards from base language to target language is something I always think about, but I can't find a way to do it, as I can't get my mind around the problem of synonyms. Especially, since you're tackling such a huge amount of words, you must be facing something like this all the time. How do you cope with this?
In the end I can only manage to do this kind of cards for sets of "thematic" vocabulary or, in general, for non-abstract nouns. And it's a pity because I do think that testing in that direction forces the brain to make stronger connections to remember it. In any case, what you're doing is very impressive! 1 person has voted this message useful |
