Revision as of 20:06, 26 September 2012

Review wordlists from individual sessions here to avoid repeated elicitation. Remember to post whether your session is group or individual, and try to indicate roughly when it will be happening so that later sessions can adjust their lists to avoid duplicating the work of earlier sessions if they wish.

The old Bari vocab can be found here if you want to transfer wordlists to this page.
