App Detail » Lexicon Drill: Dictionaries and Flashcards

App Description

Are you learning a language where every noun has completely unpredictable grammatical gender or plural form that you just have to memorise? Are you learning a language where conjugation system seems too complicated to be summed up in a simple rule of thumb that you can easily apply every time you try using a new verb? If the answer is “yes”, “Lexicon Drill” is something you cannot miss. It has been designed by a language learner to get rid of a serious limitation that traditional flashcards apps impose. Namely when you are putting new vocabulary into a deck of cards it always has to be term/definition or word/translation pairs. Unfortunately this oversimplified “binary” classification doesn’t work well every time.

With this app you can store all new lexicon in dictionaries with customisable and dynamic structure. Look at them as tables with columns and rows. A simple dictionary might consist of only two columns: word and translation. But it is not always enough. Often you are in a situation when you need to memorise particular forms of a word, its grammatical gender or something else. For that you need a dictionary with more complicated structure. In “Lexicon Drill” you can decide which columns your dictionary will have. That makes the structure customisable. Once a dictionary is created you can start using it and change its structure later. That makes the structure dynamic.

You keep everything in these dictionaries and then decide what you want to see on flashcards. So you tailor them to your specific needs.

Once you have dictionaries and flashcards you just drill.

If you have a lot of data to put into a dictionary at once, you might find it very inconvenient to enter everything manually on a mobile device. In such a case there is an import function, so you can prepare a text file on your laptop and import it with a few clicks.
