I like to learn by Esperanto by scanning through word lists while I'm on the bus to and from uni. I like to learn words which are interesting, and feel that I can pick up the drier, more boring stuff as I go through the lernu forums and read online material.

However, I don't have time to make up my own word lists, and I can't find any on the internet. I've printed off the Fantasy terms list refered to in the "zombio" thread, and also a star trek one from a vortoj thing on wikipedia.
Can anyone recommend some websites where I could find word lists and edit them to my liking before printing, other than the picture dictionary on lernu?

Well, I was gonna say look at Byki.com but I think that you need to have the deluxe version of the program to edit word lists (dl'ing and using them in whatever number of ways you apparently can is free though).

What kind of word lists were you looking out for?

I don't really have a particular subject in mind. Anything interesting, but I prefer to learn themed groups of words. Anything from types of cake, to television programme genres, to Christmas themed words, children's toys or words associated with a particular movie....

I don't mind. rideto.gif

Smart.fm. Seriously, very very very good website for learning vocab.

You say that you don't have time to make up your own word lists, but you don't have to do such a thing in one sitting. I suggest that you start to compile a vocabulary notebook in an exercise book (and as a Word document as well, by all means) with a separate page for each theme, and just add a dozen or half a dozen words daily. You will soon have an impressive and useful tool designed just for you!

On the internet, this website has its own classified word lists. There's also a set of GCSE word lists. I imagine that you could cut and paste sections from these into a Word document and edit the result without much difficulty.

A selection of printed books can be found in the EAB catalogue, such as Mil Unaj Vortoj en Esperanto by Heather Amery, and Originala Esperanta bildvortaro by Sylla Chaves.

I took a look at Smart.fm and tried a couple of Esperanto lessons. I was very impressed.

Bonega ligilo, Gyrus - quite a well developed, yet simple, learning platform.

Recently I installed a program called Anki after seeing someone here recommend it (I think it was jchthys, hello jchthys sal.gif ). Anyway it has a facility to browse esperanto words grouped by various grammatical categories aswell as general themes, such as Communication, Family, Feelings, Numbers, Time, Weather etc. It also has a bunch of example sentences along with them so you can practice each of them as you browse. You might like it.

Also you might want to check out the Baza Radikaro Oficiala. There are 10 groups of words and they appear to be arranged in order of most frequently occurring, which is useful if you want to get conversant quickly.
