Hi Inge, I think that is a very good idea to start with a blueprint course that
we can use to provide basic vocabulary courses for other languages.
The current list really well fits to what I have in mind when thinking about
the meaning of "basic course".
Some comments to the categories:
* a category for relative pronouns ("this, that, those...) is missing
* the current category "Pronouns" should better be called "Personal
Pronouns"
* In general there are very few adjectives and verbs, maybe add a
categories for describing persons, describing a house, or describing
activities (I was already thinking about verbs/adjectives needed in specific
situations, but I think that goes beyond the scope of a "basic course")
* for the Locations category, I cannot follow why you selected the current
sub-categories :) IMO it would make more sense to use e.g. "buildings",
"points of interests (tourism)", and add "Directions" (which is currently in
category "others")
For the second step, I think it also could be an interesting approach to
define a set of scenarios and collect word lists for the vocabulary required
in those situations. (at least my current work book for my French course is
doing it that way ;) And as Bčrto pointed out, there are already some good
Parley courses that could be reused/be good starting points for that.
Greetings,
Andreas
