These lists always seem to list the "important" words that are nouns/adjectives/verbs/adverbs, and not the words that are used most often - connectors and such.  Those words are often harder to teach because they're less of a concept.

I like Quizlet and similar sites and I see that my students love them. However, I don't think that it is the best way to study vocabulary, because memorizing words and meanings without context doesn't always help students implementing them correctly.

I would like to explore the NGSL list and maybe additional lists that he has created that can be useful for Israeli students.
