Yes. I agree. But in language learning, I seem to do it hundreds of times per day. I really find the convenience of AutoCopy very worthwhile for lots of things, but especially language learning. After you have used it for a while, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

As I use the program more I'm finding that I enjoy typing my own definitions since that seems to set them more firmly in mind. As much as possible I try to use my target language (Spanish) to write my definitions, and avoid English as much as possible. Once I've thought through how to write a definition in Spanish I rarely ever have to look up a word a second time.
I'm also finding that having a variety of texts from a variety of authors is a good idea. Instead of pounding away on the same piece of text I like to inject variety in my reading, so I bounce from 'Johnathan Livingston Seagull" to "The Pit and the Pendulum", to "Sun Tzu Art of War", and the "Jumping Frog of Calavaras County", etc. etc. I like to keep my reading fresh and interesting. I'm doing this, after all, for fun. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I finally got around to installing the program. I think that I did everything correctly,
and I arrived at the page where you select your target language. To my surprise, Spanish was not one of the languages listed. There was only German, French, Japanese, and Chinese. Am I missing something or does this program not support Spanish? Thanks in advance for any help. Chris Phillips 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

just rename "French" to "Spanish" in "My Languages". Please read also the documentation on how to create languages and how the system works. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I had the same question. I'm using it with Spanish to. Go back to about post #105 in this thread and read the replies I got. To tell the truth, setting it up for Spanish is very easy. --gary 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
