Where should I start? Vocab, syntax, grammar...?

I'd start with common words/phrases used in everyday speech and go on from there!

Yes, I thought something along those lines as well... I'll start with the very basics and see what questions come up then and where to go next...

First I'll have to go back to formating my thesis though... My publisher was on vacation until this morning thus giving me kind of an excuse to procrastinate a little...
