Romanian Language Added
A humble friend has contributed two chapters of the Romanian language. That brings the language count to 10 and the total files available to over 50!
Programming is hard!
Well, at least it is hard for me! I am making slow progress on creating a web application to study flashcards. While you are waiting for what will eventually be an awesome learning tool, I recommend checking out Anki and the online version. It is not the simplest to set up and use, but it has many cool features.
What has been going on for the past year?
About a year and a 1/2 ago I began studying programming to see if I can create my own flashcard program. Things are progressing and hopefully in the coming year you will see a new website with many new features. Keep your fingers crossed!
Update
The website has been cleaned of all malware and is now hermetically sealed with the latest and most secure software. We also have some easy update options to keep the site secure in the future. Happy Surfing.
Hacked!
I found out today that the website had been hacked. If you were using a major search engine and this site appeared in the list, and you clicked on the link, it was redirecting to a few different sites that then hope you click onto something that will allow them to install some malware. The files and downloads on this site are not affected. I am working with my web host and google to remove the malicious code and increase the security of the web server. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Print ESL Files
Mary just wrote to let me know she couldn’t print some of the ESL/English chapter files. I have changed the security options so printing is allowed. If you run into any more files that have problems please let me know and I will adjust them. Thanks Mary.
Greetings and Useful Phrases in French
I am still waiting for the Swahili files to be completed, but in the meantime, Valerie Kemp has translated the Greetings and Useful Phrases portion of the Chapter Three files into French. More info on the French page.
Online flashcards
I still haven’t found an online flashcard program that makes it easy to create picture flashcards. I have spent a lot of time the last few months investigating different ways to create such a web application. Right now I am seriously considering a system by Tersus. If anyone has experience with this, or has another suggestion, please let me know.
Also, I hope to have a Swahili translation soon!
Anki Premade Decks
Earlier today I noticed that the Anki website has an area for “PreMadeDecks“. I combined the two Travel List files and uploaded them there. Hopefully they will be useful and more people will find them there.
2nd Anki file
I just finished making another Anki file. This time it is for English/Spanish Travel List 2. It has about 100 more words and images.
You can download the file from the Anki page.
