There are a few more in Lesson 2, but not many. I think at the time those were all I found. I don't know if I missed any in the dictionary or if that really was all that she made at the time. (It's been awhile since I've read through it.)

Here's hoping Karen Traviss adds more words in her next book... if Disney would allow her to write more. :/ I don't really know what's going to happen, now that Disney has taken over for Lucas Books / Lucas Arts

I'm really enjoying the lessons, thanks for all the effort you're putting in
Was reading 501st earlier and i think Kal'buir says something a little different from "Ni kir'man" when adopting Bard'ika.. If i remember rightly the verb had more y's.. Sure your version is right and the one i read was just a different verb or context, but just in case.
Keep up the good work, ner vod!

Thanks for your support!
And thanks for letting me know about the adoption discrepancy. To be honest, I've found one or two boo-boo's even in the dictionary, and I don't know it it is a context thing or just some misspellings.
So I will keep an eye out for those mistakes, and then if you all can catch MY mistakes, we should be home free. LOL.

We Mando'ade have to work together to rid the world of spelling mistakes and bad grammar! *poses proudly*
Yeah, i can be a bit pedantic about those things at times (apart from the capital on "i"). Hope i didn't sound too nitpicky

You guys know theres a dictionary you can download on Karen Traviss's website...
This is more or less a bunch of words and their meanings, not a lesson, If you would actually explain how sentences and phonics work... this will be more than worth reading.
I'm not trying to be a critic or asshole, I'm just giving a suggestion and my honest opinion.

I'm learning how the sentences go together myself as I am writing this all out. Unfortunately, the best person to teach us that is Karen Traviss herself, and while she does provide a grammar guide, it doesn't cover everything.
And I do know about the dictionary. I'm just no good at learning a language by reading the dictonary alone. It makes my eyes cross a little.

Well.... if you're just learning the language how come you're giving lessons of it?
This is actually a fine guide, but only a slight upgrade of a dictionary. Of course you can't learn a language by staring at a dictionary... but exactly how are you learning it? And isn't that pretty much what you're putting out (a detailed dictionary)?

I was creating these to teach myself, and thought other SW fans (RC fans especially) might like to see it.
I am basing the "lessons" off of how I was first taught french in school. Sadly, you start off that way, reciting "this is a pencil....where is the bathroom?" like an idiot for awhile. (or maybe that was just my school) You get your little weekly dictionaries (vocab) to memorize and the teachers hope you soak it all in to build up the ability to make conversation later.
