VOCABULARY LISTS Parts 1-7 (up to p. 66)

Introductory note:

The vocabulary lists in the first seven parts (p.1-66) of the course do not containexplanations and or translations. That is why I reviewed the lists and added them,but I also indicated what you have to study in BOLD.

For the vocabulary lists after p. 66, the words you have to study are already bold.Some of them have been explained, for others an explanation has been given inclass.

Of course, you also need to study the vocabulary exercises that go with specifictexts and the separate vocabulary exercises.
