This Vocabulary will be very useful to prospective students - all seniors! I have so far cut and pasted what you have sent to Goa-Net. See attachment. I wonder if you have a complete comilation A-Z which you may wish to share with us? -- From a Goan in Canada planning to organise Konkani classes to a batch of 25 later this year.
