I wonder if any of you has advice regarding the better way to make vocabulary flash cards for the study
of Esperanto. Is it better to put actual (i.e., full) Esperanto words or simply the roots on the cards? Or would you recommend making cards with both? Thanks for your help. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It would probably save time/cards to just add roots+affixes (you'd get quite far with ~1000 cards), but I've added anything from roots and isolated words to whole sentences, depending on what I've found useful.

Definitely start out by learning as many affixes as you can as well as you can. They are
like multipliers. Your vocabulary is equal to r*(a+1) where r = the number of roots you know, and a = the number of affixes you know. Well, not exactly, not all affixes work with every word, but trust me, take the time to learn the affixes and correlatives as soon as possible. Study them hard and often, know them backwards and forwards, and it will help immensely. Bonan Sxancon! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I created an Anki deck with all basic Esperanto roots, which you can download through the
"Shared Decks" section. Rather than giving a root like interes- I provided the most important word (interesa = interesting), so that you have an easier time deriving other words from it. The inherent word type of Esperanto word roots is a point a lot of Esperantists argue about. I also provided sample sentences and related words. To thoroughly practise the affixes, try the exercise I put on my blog: http://www.learnlangs.com/blog/2009/12/30/practise-esperanto -affixes/ 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I've made some sets of vocabulary cards for BYKI.

Flash cards:
I believe that if you complete any one Esperanto course, you will be able to start using Esperanto in less that 15 hours. That time wouldn't be enough to create a good set of flashcards. If you insist in having flash cards you should start with the correlatives, prefixes, suffixes, prepositions, and adverbs ending in -aux. (you may group the correlatives according to their beginnings, 5 of them in each of 9 cards) (you don't need to know all the correlatives to be fluent in Esperanto) Then ... don't put single words in your cards ... use full sentences. Single words are difficult to remember. Sentences are a little easier. 1 person has voted this message useful |
