An Idea.

Mokriyä Täftxuyu · December 30, 2009, 05:05:59 PM

Ok, so I looked through all the compiled information and all the guides, and I have a request (rather an idea/request lol). Perhaps someone who is decently versed in the language could compile a super document, almost like a handbook, of the language and divide that into sections like:

1. Verbs - Conjugations and Tenses
2. Basic Vocabulary
3. Grammar Basics
4. Pronunciation and Alphabet
5. etc. etc.

Not exactly in that order, probably in a more logical order starting with the Alphabet and working down. And for those of us who are not linguist, it could be put in clear and concise terminology complete with examples and conjugation tables. I would be willing to help with layout and design (I am rather rusty at Photoshop but I wouldn't mind dusting it off and helping). I just need someone with the language know-how. That way we have an entire booklet complete with worksheets and practice and everything that someone would need to learn the language. Basically our own self produced workbook.

Please let me know if you like this idea and if you do then please contact me about design and stuff and maybe we can put this into action. Lol and also I hope this hasn't been proposed before because that would suck. ha

You mean like this: http://www.learnnavi.org/docs/Learn-Navi-Pocket-Guide.pdf ?

To be honest I've been too busy to actually look over it properly but it seems like the kind of thing you're after.

Yeah the pocket guide is exactly what you just described except it has some big words, so if you are a kid like me you should look into these http://zombat.roosteredge.com/navi/grammar/ergative1.3.1.pdf

Blah I have seen all that already Lol that is not exactly what I mean but it has similar framework.

LOL no I mean have it setup like an actual language book is setup. It has the same frame as the pocket guide just different execution. I have several spanish books that are setup like i am talking about... blah lol like this one :

Oh ok, well I mean we still don't even have all the grammer rules and vocabulary, so I wouldn't expect a detailed one. lol!

I'm making a new Grammar, but it will have the big words. I've decided to put in a glossary, defining those words, however. You can see this document grow in this thread.

Cool, well I'm more in the Vocab and practice stage.

Stage 1: Understanding the Grammar
Stage 2: Practice and Learning Vocab
Stage 3: Simple Sentences
Stage 4: Conversations
