Me es con Jorj.  Como un instruiste presedente de Engles e linguas
stranjer, me ia vide multo veses, ce un studiante fa un era, per ce, en
loco de pensa, los xerca un parola en un disionario.

Per ce los fa eras?  Un xerca un parola en un disionario, per ce el NO
CONOSE la parola.  E cada parola-- estas spesial serta, ce ave sinifias
multo streta-- ave un usa spesial.  Donce es multo plu bon usar un
parola, ce es conoseda, ce usar un parola, ce es no conoseda.  E donce
studiantes, ci tenta USA la lingua, en loco de xerca multe parolas en un
disionario, aprende plu rapida la lingua.

Esemplo:  Ci de vos, ci aprende un lingua stranjer, ia oblida la parola
"mal" e en loco de esa dise "no bon," e con esta modo comunica basta?  Si
un vole disputa, ce "no bon" no es tal forte como "mal", me dise-- junta
plu parolas: "No bon a tota!"

Nos comunica plu bon con parolas familial.  Donce un vocabulario poca,
usada con PENSIA clara, es la solve de problemes lingual.

I'm with George.  As a former teacher of English and foreign languages, I
have many times seen students make a mistake because, instead of
thinking, they look up words in a dictionary.

Why do they make mistakes?  You look up words in a dictionary because you
DON'T KNOW the word.  And every word-- especially specific words that
have very narrow meanings-- have a special use.  So it is much better to
use a word that is known than to use a word that is not.  Also students
who USE the language, instead of looking up lots of words in a
dictionary, learn the language faster.

For example:  How many of you who have studied foreign languages have
forgotten the word for "bad" and instead said "not good"-- and still
communicated sufficiently?  If you want to argue that "not good" is not
as emphatic as "bad," I say:  Add some more words!  "Not good at all."

We communicate better with words that we are familiar with.  A small
vocabulary, therefore, used with clear THINKING, is the solution to
language problems.
