    Toki Pona/Vocab, (vernunftzentrum.de), 07/21/2018
------------------------------------------------------------
Today is day 1  of 12 in my effort to  memorize the 120 main
words  in Toki  Pona. I  formatted  the ODS  version of  the
dictionary for two-column landscape printing and made myself
a physical  copy. I'm  using a  Gregg ruled  notebook[1], in
which I will  copy, read, write, and rewrite  both the words
and definitions daily.

 Day 1 Words:

 a / kin     emphasis, emotion
 akesi       non-cute animal, amphibian, reptile
 ala         no, not, zero (0)
 alasa       to hunt, to forage   
 ali / ale   all, every,
             everything, bountiful, life, universe
             (100)
 anpa        bow low, downward, lowly, dependant
 anu         or
 ante        changed, altered, other, different
 awen        stay, remain, 
             to continue on
 e           (before definite object)

Writing this post  was my final test for the  day; if you've
looked at the dictionary[2], you'll note that my definitions
aren't 100% complete.  I wrote them from memory,  and got as
close  as I  could for  each word.  I think  I captured  the
feeling of  most of  the words, and  I'm hopeful  that using
them  will  help  me  be  more  familiar  with  all  of  the
definitions.

I've also  determined that during  the next 12 days  while I
memorize vocabulary,  I need to continue  learning something
about  the  language.  I'm  not  accustomed  to  learning  a
language via the rules of  the language, and would prefer to
learn with phrases, but with Toki Pona I'm not sure there is
much difference. I've downloaded a  set of lessons, and used
pdfshuffler and boomaga to format  them into a nice booklet,
which  I plan  on printing  and using.  Hopefully I'll  have
something to report on that front soon.
