I haven't tried any of the others programs (neither anki, nor mnemosyne) but it seems that they are used to memorize.
I'm so happy with Parley because it is so simple and powerful and when you want you test yourself. You can use simple words or idioms or phrases or fonetic transcription. Now when i find a word or an idiom (by the way, like those i find in your great blog)i write down in the program to make a lesson (your lesson can have all the entries you want) and from time to time i test myself (i like so much multiple choice, but you can choose several options to test yourself like writting the entire word, or find a word in mixed letters) And the good thing we can share our lessons we do !!! -- Best regards On May 2, 6:39 pm, Pablo <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi José, > > It seems Parley is a Linux-only tool :( Some days ago I wrote about > tools like Anki (http://ichi2.net/anki/) and Mnemosyne > (http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/).
