The WordTutor is a software which helps to remember foreign words. The program have a dictionary (dictionary.xml) of the words, which have been added by it's users. All word items contain the foreign spelling of the word and the native spelling, separated by semicolon. Default dictionary have some latin words for example, but you can drop them all and fill the dictionary with the words of the language you are learning at the moment. for example, the pair "axon" -"axis;pivot" is a typical word element. The main form of the application shows the table of the existing words and set of the buttons to operate with words. The tool bar in the top is to add, edit and delete the words. Click the "Add" button in order to add new word. The window "Add New Word" should appear. There you can type the foreign and native spellings of the word. Click the "Edit" button in order to edit existing word. The same window will appear and there you can change the spelling. Click the "Del" button in order to delete all the words which are selected in the table.As you can notice, the numeration of the words will not change - it is not binded to words, it s just represents the order. The "Start Lesson" button will open the window of the lesson. There the random word will appear and you will have to enter the right translation of the word and press "Answer". Then the program will show you if you answered right or not and after clicking the "Next" button you will see the next question. This process will ends when the lesson is over. Each word has its own score value. In the beginning, it is 0, but if you answer right, the score will be incremented by some value, and if you answer wrong, the score will be decremented by some value. If the score of the word reachs some maximum value, then the word become learned and it will never appear in the lesson window again. The "Settings" button allows you to set some adjustment. The parameter "Words in Lesson" determines how many words should be shown in one lesson. The parameter "MaxScore" determines how much score the word must get to become learned The parameter "IncScore" determines how much score will added to the word if user answered right. The parameter "DecScore" determines how much score will deduct from the word if user answered wrong.
