History: Software assisted learning

Learning Lojban

• Implicit learning is an easy and powerful method of learning languages. There is a free program for Windows, called Parallel 2, which allows users to read sentences one by one in native (e.g. English) language and their translation to Lojban. Parallel 2 allows also to listen to audio files bound with each target sentence, enhancing listening capabilities.
• Supermemo is a fantastic way to learn Lojban. Robin has made a list of words, more information available here.
  • Supermemo has Windows (including Windows CE) and Palmpilot versions.
  • There is a free version of Supermemo for Windows. It runs well under Wine for Linux.
    • Save this as list.txt. Run Supermemo, create a new database, choose options->go professional then tools->import text and import list.txt. Then start learning!
• Jay Kominek's Perl flashcard script (It requires some other software on his Lojban page to generate the data files)
• Various software (DOS, primarily) is described and accessible at http://www.lojban.org/files/roadmap.html#software, including Logflash, the most effect vocabulary learning aid still, and the official parser.
• Popup.app is a GNUstep based vocabulary learning tool that can use cmafi'e to extract the vocabulary from a given text.
• FlashCards, a Macintosh program
  • some data for it is available at http://satirist.org/lojban/cilre/

Logflash Files

;flashdoc.txt:Internal program documentation, somewhat out of date, for LogFlash. Probably useful to anyone trying to modify the source.
;flashman.txt:A description of the flashcard management process used as the basis for LogFlash - essentially an algorithm statement for the program.
;lfsrc.zip:The Turbo-Pascal source for the current version of LogFlash 1 (LF3 differs only in changing some constant parameters).
;logflash.zip:LogFlash, a computer-aided instruction program for teaching Lojban gismu. This is an MS-DOS executable with support files.
;logfl3.zip:LogFlash 3, a computer-aided instruction program for teaching Lojban cmavo. This is an MS-DOS executable with support files.
;logflash.txt:A description of the LogFlash algorithm at the user level. The current version is described. LogFlash 2,mentioned in the text, is being brought up to the current language standard, but is not yet available.
