Aren't beginners more in need of structured lessons?

I think random lists of words are a bit impractical (due to lack of context, and difficulty of memorizing word lists), but for the sake of not being completely contrary, I will post a list of words that may be useful. After all, you are right about there being a slight lack of real beginners stuff here.

They are all important question words that are worth memorizing if you don't know them.

いつ -Itsu- When　(For the sake of completeness [I'm A+ LOL])
なに -Nani-　What?
どこ -Doko-　Where?
どう -Dou-　How?
どうして -Doushite- or　なんで -Nande-　Why?
どちら -Dochira-　Which way (As in "which way to the station?")
いくら -Ikura-　How much (As in "How much does this cost?")
どんな　-Donna-　What kind of?
どれ -Dore-　Which (As in "Which dress is cheaper?", mainly used when picking from 3 or more things)

PS. feel free to correct me, I'm fallible sometimes... But I'd rather you dropped me a PM so I can write the correction to avoid bloating the thread.
