While browsing this forum I stumbled upon a connectors spreadsheet made by a LingQ user that lists over 400 sentence connectors translated in many languages. I started many languages with Moses' FLR technique and I found that learning these connectors was very helpful in creating logical and complete sentences early on.
The spreadsheet's creator gave everybody the right to add content to it and I think it would be great if our forum's members helped their fellow language learners by translating these connectors into as many languages as possible. This would also save others the trouble of searching through several resources to find a particular connector. 6 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Would be fantastic if someone added Danish and Polish.

Done. To add a new language, just hit Insert -> Column left/right. I just rearranged all the languages in alphabetic order to make it easier to find them. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am really glad to hear that connectors are taking off in many languages.
To be honest, I do worry that the list of more than 400 rows in the spreadsheet might be too much to take on when you are new to a language and might put some people off. You certainly don't need anywhere near that number to start having flowing conversations and my original intention was for people to start off with the original core 100 or so you can find on my website. The extra 300 or so were really from my own personal ANKI deck, which I did make public, but I never imagined people would be interested in translating them to lots of different languages. All this interest is really encouraging and (to be honest) flattering for me. So much so, that I have been thinking seriously of completely reworking my website to provide a more gradual introduction to connectors and my evolving observations on how to make good use of them.
