Its features are: - 3 Quiz Types. Three different quiz types provide different learning challenges. - Quiz Options. Words can be shown in order or randomly, translation can be from English to Lojban or vice versa, missed words can be repeated until correctly answered, and each question can be timed to make the quiz more real time. - Full Definitions. Definitions include the Lojban and equivalent English words plus a full definition and a user-definable memory aid. - Popup Quizzes. A quiz can be set to popup periodically. - Word Lists. The vocabulary is divided into small word groups. You practice with the groups in the order that’s best for you. Groups can be displayed or printed dictionary style. - Dictionary. The full Lojban dictionary is available for searching. Fuzzy matching shows related words and near misses. - Tengwar. Lojban words can be displayed conventionally or with the Tengwar font. - Customizable. Fonts, sounds, and word groups can be edited by the user. Hopefully other students can make use of it. I think it's pretty thorough and bug free, but it's a new program and I'm interested in any bugs, feature suggestions, or other comments you have to make. I don't have access to a web site, but I can send it to interested parties by email. If there's enough interest, perhaps someone who does have access to a web site could put it there.
