How does it work?

When the program is first started it randomly selects 30 words from the database, this is the active list. When you’ve learned one of these words, it goes to the learned list and a new word from the remaining words database enters the active list to be learned.

Learning is enhanced by a widget containing 5 of the 30 active words which you can scroll through.. Both the program and the widget possess buttons to translate the word into your own language, and to listen to the pronunciation of the word.


Does it require an internet connection?

Everyday use of this app does not require an internet connection. On initial start up you will be prompted to choose which language your database is in, the app will then download the files necessary to create the database and listen to words in this language. After this, the only use of an internet connection would be to share your existing knowledge on Facebook.


How do I get started?

If you downloaded the necessary files, click the [about teaching] button. Here you can see the first words. Once you have learned a word, click the [learned] button. The app will the send the learned word from the active list to the learned word list.

For practical everyday use, place the learning widget on the home screen. This will enable you to learn the words without even launching the app.

How does the test work?

The tests randomly chooses 1 word from the learned words list before listing 5 translations, 1 of which is the correct translation. You must select the correct translation of the word. The test keeps track of how many correct answers you give and how many wrong answers.

If one word is failed several times during the test, the program indicates that it was not learned.
This word is then sent back to the active list for you to attempt to learn it again.

Can it be used to replace an English textbook?
