Action Words (AKA Verbs)

Creating a list of words is key in making the language stick.  Remember, I said "creating."  Simply reading a dictionary or this list will do nothing .  You must write down the words physically!  You can come back and use these online flash cards to help memorize words.  In your own journal save your self 20 to 30 pages just for compiling your word list.    
I've listed ten verbs below in English.  The best way to start a word list is just writing down every English word you can think of.  You can use a Dictionary to help your writers block if you need on this! Then we will take those words and find somebody who knows the Fijian equivalent and we write it down in our journal.  Lets do this.
