Hi!
Can anyone recommend programs for learning languages for win mobile? I'm just getting a pda, so I'm trying to find new ways of enhancing my study process. Anything that relates to Japanese and Spanish language will be greatly appreciated. Maybe some srs, flashcard, dictionaries, software for reading/highlighting books, etc? All advices are more than welcome! :) Thanks! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I personally use Microsoft's Reader to read Spanish books on my PDA. Off course, you must have Windows mobile as an operating system. Microsoft Reader hasn't had any update in recent times, but it's pretty complete and it's free.
Moreover, Microsoft proposes a handful of Bilingual dictionaries to download and use with their reader. It then becomes very easy to check out the meaning of a word by simply clicking on it when reading. Whenever I have some free time, I'll write a small article describing the different steps with appropriate screenshots. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Supermemo for the PDA is great - it's simple to use (unlike the PC version) and is still the best flashcard software available. You'll not regret getting this.

Thanks for the advice! As for Microsoft Reader, I don't have many books in .lit format, so I doubt it'd be useful for me. Most of the books I have are in pdf or doc/txt format. D oyou by any chance know which dictionaries can be used with these files for translationg the words by hovering over or selectiong the word? Can Lingvo do that? As for Supermemo - seems like a great tool, so I'll try it, thanks! Btw, do you have to manually input data into it, or is there a way to import, like from dictionary or something?

There are lots of free tools to convert Doc/txt files to the .lit format and vice-versa. I don't remember the one I used but here are a couple of links: http://www.microsoft.com/reader/developers/downloads/rmr.asp x http://www.overdrive.com/readerworks/software/standard.asp With the dictionnaries loaded into your eReader software, you can click on a word and then check its meaning. Then you can make a small note of the meaning for later. It's not as flexible as a Flashcard soft but it's not bad for such an old tool. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Oh, that's good, then. I'll give it a try :) And as for organizing software - smth like for scheduling, checking progress (e.g. ticking off tasks), goal management?

I have the same question. Is there an 'import' function like there is in in mnemosyne? Because if you had to manually input all the sentences, surely this would literally take forever on a PDA. Thanks. 1 person has voted this message useful |
