Learning Vocabulary with KVocTrain
LANGUAGE SESSION
Author(s): KEVIN DONNELLY
Modern language-teaching may focus on context, but without a good range of basic words, you’ll be lost when you try the language outside the classroom. KVocTrain helps you build your foreign vocabulary.
KVocTrain [1] is a tool that helps you learn foreign language vocabulary words. The Kvoc- Train program is part of the KDE Edutainment suite and was originally written by Ewald Arnold. It works on the same principle as flashcards. All you need to do is input words and information about them, then ask KVocTrain to run a test for you – it will ask you the words and record your success rate. Configuring KVocTrain To set up KvocTrain, open the application ( K -> Edutainment -> Languages - > KVocTrain) and select Vocabulary -> Append Language -> Another Language, then click Yes. Click the button Add Language Data from KDE Data base to add a language (see Figure 1). In this case, I’ll select Europe, Southern -> Greek. In this article, I’ll use Greek as an example language, but you can follow similar steps to configure KvocTrain to test you in another language. Use the same process to add UK English, selecting Europe, Western -> United Kingdom at the end.
