I am making a list of concepts to learn in a new language. Not just single word concepts, but also phrases or "speech actions", basically anything you might want to express in your new language. This is a Wiki, so feel free to add your own.

Text manipulation: I haven't found a quick way to hack a Windows script. I got Linux installed yesterday. I just need to figure out how to install g++ to start writing some text-manipulation scripts. Then I need to figure out how to make the network/Internet work.

Once that's done, I'll run the scripts.

apple
banana
carrot

will become

^apple: apple
^banana: banana
^carrot: carrot


When seen through a translation site such as babelfish, these pages will become bilingual glossaries.

^apple: maçã
^banana: banana
^carrot: cenoura


Possible Features:
Left-hand side: either English or New Language.

By caching the translation:
Sorting alphabetically in new language
Human edition for better concept / phrase translations (creates the problem of version control)
See several languages side-by-side, for linguistic interest


As you can see, learning Dutch is inspiring me in many directions...
