Leximnesiaby Florian Mortgat There is now an official website: http://leximnesia.org Leximnesia is a very simple, efficient software: it asks questions and the user answers them (either in his ... [More] head or in a text entry). Then the software gives the right answer and so forth. The only thing is that the questions he answered wrongly will be re-asked and re-asked until he knows the right answer perfectly. See the FAQ. InstallingFor Windows usersYou need to install python, then leximnesia. Python installer is available here Leximnesia installer is available here. For Linux usersYou probably know how to do: go to the download section, download, unpack the archive and follow the instructions. For Mac OS X usersThe archive is the same as for Linux, but I must admit I tried only once under Mac OS and it was buggy because the default python version was too old (2.3). The GUI worked but the asked question was always the same, due to a bug in python classes inherited from lists in 2.3. I suppose it would work if you install python 2.4 or 2.5. The installation procedure is the same as for Linux. FeaturesYou can use the existing question files and learn about 3000 words of German (for French people), 1000 words of English (for French people) and 500 words of French (for German people). There are two ways to use the software: a "quick mode", which involves no typing but requires you to be honest and tell the computer when the answer you thought of was wrong and a "slower mode", in which you type the answer. The computer will correct it automatically. It is also: very easy to modify a question (for example to add a new accepted answer) possible, quick and easy to add new questions to an already-existent question file possible and not very difficult to create new question files.
