first off the idea comes originally from FluentCzech, and after memorizing the German list (which i found and is in the link) my ability to speak german went up tremendously.  When before i was a stumbling dumbfounded fool, i was able to go through conversations and now i speak like its no problem, half the time mixing all sorts of combinations of connectors which resemble, like, ya know, a real life conversation.

I've provided myself Dutch, German, Portugese and a little bit of Hebrew; Czech, Italian, Spanish and French are naturally provided by others. but what we need are these in as many languages as possible. Turkish, Russian, Greek, Catalan, Afrikaans, Chinese, Gaelge, whatever, we just need the dedicated NATIVE or FLUENT speakers who can provide us the relative 'same-y' conversational tools as layed out initially by FluentCzech, but of course not translations of them.

Perhaps there is another tool special to a language, like also in german, z.B. , so please include them!

I have even sent this to the "famous" Latin revivalist Molendinarius who, as many of you may know, is unfortunately (but also fortunately) a little busy recreating a textbook to create the modern, colloquial Latin equivalents of these phrases.

I hope to have some useful additions, my plan is to create a blog which has these in almost every language imaginable and can be a jump start to spoken fluency.  Peace be with you!

no takers at all? not a one?

yes absolutely please do.  i assumed that dutch was done by a native, as the german one was.
