I don't know if you already know about this program, but I'm gonna post about it anyway. I started using it 3 months ago, it's top notch and free.
You can copy and paste any text you want into it and you can highlight the words you know or don't know (Level 1-5, Unknown, Well know (Different color for each)). The words change color and are saved for review later. An online dictionary loads up when you click on a word, and you can even add your own translation. When you paste a new text, all the words that you encountered in the earlier texts will be highlighted in the new one. You can use it for multiple languages and the words that are the same in the other language won't be shown, basically you start from scratch in every language + it's a lot simpler to set up and use than Learning With Texts. Download link: FLTR Introduction, instructions, description, screenshots: Instructions Here is what one of my texts look like: 
Edit: I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. I'm gonna type out all the Assimil lessons, and after finishing a lesson, I'm gonna review the previous ones. It gives a clear overview of the words and phrases you know or don't know. Edited by nikolic993 on 29 January 2015 at 8:17am 6 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks for sharing! I always thought an offline version of LWT would be great, it's also cross-platform which is great, too.

Does this work with RTL languages such as Arabic?

Seems very similar to LWT, in which ways do you think this is better other than being simpler to set up? Edited by Gomorritis on 29 January 2015 at 11:34am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

One thing people *might* want to be aware of - there don't seem to be any plans for further updates.
In this thread on reddit from about a year ago, the developer states that the project has been discontinued. He felt that the code was complete enough as is. R. == 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

So I set it up, but the only problem I have is that the Japanese words are being broken
down into their individual kanji and not the whole word. I did try to keep the "remove space" at 1 as recommended. Anyone with an idea on how to rectify this? 1 person has voted this message useful |
