Are there any sites which have fundamental vocabulary listed into semantic categories?
If there were such categorized vocabulary acquisition sites absorbing vocabulary would be much more balanced. For example if there were semantically grouped vocabulary categories like, Verbs of body motion: Walk, stroll Run, jog, sprint Crawl Duck Shimmy Turn, Role, Spin Stretch etc... Verbs of destruction: Break Destroy Smash, Smash up, Smash in Split, Snap Anihilate Obliverate Pulverize Eradicate, Stamp out Ransack, Lay waste to etc... Verbs of communication and expression: Speak, Articulate, Verbalize Talk, Chat Say, Tell Blabber on Converse Communicate Express Debate Discuss Deliberate etc... Verbs of thought: Think Consider Believe Opinate Suppose Assume Presume Guess Speculate (sub section: verbs of creative thought) Think up Come up with Imagine etc... Verbs of cooking: Cook, Make food Bake Fry Grill Roast Suate ect... Verbs of adhorance and displeasure: Dislike Hate Dispise Detest Abhor etc... Verbs of sight: See Look Check out Catch sight of Stare Fixate Gaze Glare Inspect Examine Observe Witness, Bear witness to Testify etc... Verbs of love and adoration: Like Love Adore etc... Verbs of attack: Strike Punch, Jab, Prod Kick, Boot Choke, Strangle, Asfixiate Crank, Twist Headbutt, Nut Throw, Takedown, Sweep, Slam Mount, Pin, Control etc... Verbs of compensation: Give back, Pay back Make up for Compensate Atone Redeem etc... Verbs of help: Help, Lend a hand Assist Save Rescue Salvage etc... If such organized categorized vocabulary learning methods exsisted it would accelarate language learning significantly. Do any such sites exist? I specifically want ones for the foreign languages I am learning, but even one in English would be decent because we could apply it as a template to other languages and make our own. I am sorry for the long post. I hope someone can see my point. Edited by malakhim on 16 March 2011 at 4:55pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Is this the sort of site you mean? It has lists of thematic vocabulary for several languages. I linked to the Turkish page since you are studying Turkish.

In case it is helpful for others in looking for other language equivalents to your list above, I am taking the liberty of correcting some of your spelling: "role" should be "roll" "anihilate" should be "annihilate" "obliverate" should be "obliterate" "opinate" - not sure, this does not appear to be English? "suate" should be "sauté" "adhorance" should be "abhorrence" "dispise" should be "despise" "asfixiate" should be "asphyxiate" Although in the text of your message rather than your word list, "accelarate" should be "accelerate".

OK, we get that you are obviously so smart! Anyway thanks for correcting the mispellings. Since spending so much time abroad and so little time using English, my spelling has really deteriorated. Some people may look down on me for my poor spelling and think of me as stupid. But I dont care! I am a master of Kanji! Not to show off but I have a greater knowledge of Kanji than most of the Japanese themselves. So people who think I am stupid because of my spelling, you just got served because I can reproduce with easy thousands of characters! Forgive my brief display of arrogance. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

My spelling will soon improve as I get back into the routine of the English speaking world. You probably think everyone is stupid who doesnt agree with your philosophy and ideals. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

No. From the way you reacted to the other posts, I rather think that yet another Aspie has joined the forum. Edited by Doitsujin on 16 March 2011 at 6:12pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Malakhim, you will fare better on this forum (and in life) if you do not take personal offense when someone points
out mistakes that you may be making. We are here to help and support each other, and part of that can include correcting others' mistakes. Please realize that there are many non-native speakers of English on this forum who appreciate having mistakes in English corrected, so that they themselves don't inadvertently learn misspellings. It's not all about you. 17 persons have voted this message useful |
