Features

• 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 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!
• New since Version 1.5.0: Create and edit an improved annotated text version (as interlinear text) for online or offline learning. Motivation: Annotated texts (as interlinear text) have been used for language learning for a long time. One example are the word-by-word translations in the Assimil courses. The German Vera F. Birkenbihl proposes the creation of interlinear word-by-word or hyperliteral translations (she named this creation "decoding") in foreign language learning.
