Learning with Texts (LWT) Web SiteFeatures
- Learning with Texts (LWT) is a tool for Language Learning, inspired by Stephen Krashen's principles in Second Language Acquisition, Steve Kaufmann's LingQ System, and ideas from Khatzumoto, published at "AJATT - All Japanese All The Time".
- You define languages you want to learn.
- You define the web dictionaries you want to use.
- You define how sentences and words in the language will be split up.
- You upload texts, and they are automatically split into sentences and words! Later re-parsing is possible.
- Optional: Assign the URL of an mp3 audio file of the text (Dropbox, local server, ...) in order to listen while reading the text.
- You read the text while listening to the audio, and you see immediately the status of every word (unknown, learning, learned, well-known, ignored).
- You click on words, and you use the external dictionaries to find out their meanings.
- You save words or expressions (2..9 words) with optional romanization (for asiatic languages), translations and example sentence, you change its status, you edit them whenever needed (like in LingQ).
- Use tags to categorize your terms and texts.
- Test your understanding of words and expressions within or without sentence context.
- MCD (Massive-Context Cloze Deletion) testing, as proposed by Khatzumoto @ AJATT, built in!
- See your progress on the statistics page.
- You may export the words and expressions and use them in Anki or other programs.
- You may upload words and expressions into LWT (from LingQ or other sources, CSV/TSV) - they are immediately available in all texts!
- The application is 100 % free, open source, and in the Public Domain. Do with it what you like!
- Prerequisites: a local webserver (Apache, PHP, mySQL), e.g. XAMPP, easyPHP, or MAMP.
- LWT runs great on an iPad, etc., too!
- Enjoy your language learning and reading of texts in foreign languages!
