learnitlists

A language learning tool.  This is how learnitlists explains how it works:

"Every day you will have 10 words to learn from a list of the 1000 most common English words. When you refresh the page, the words on your list will appear one by one. You will then be able to show or hide the meaning and swap between the two languages as you wish.

"The learnit widget will make the same words appear in a different order each time. You can flip them between the language you speak and the language you’re learning. You can see them side by side, or hide them. Every time you do a search on the Internet, you can glance at them. You can put the widget on your social network site and see the same list every time you visit, and you can keep the list open as a browser window on your desktop while you work. It will even be useful for you to write down your words in your daily diary.

"By seeing this same list many times in one day, learning will take place in the same way as used throughout the advertising industry. Then, next time you are actively studying (in class, with a text book or an online course) you’ll find that more and more words are familiar to you. Advertisers call this brand exposure leading to brand recall, but you’ll be learning useful vocabulary instead."

They are beginning with Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese & Czech and will add more languages as they are requested.

This would be even better if there were a phased learning, like in phase-6, http://www.phase-6.com.

In phased learning, the length of time between intervals on a flashcard is increased as the person knows the information better. This is based on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve.

VEry interesting program. I will use it to check it out and then recommend it to my students. If you work on it regularly, taking into account your own learning style, you can learn Spanish. The sounds are completely regular and follow the alphabet. The grammar is very similar to that of English. The IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet symbols are not hard to learn and really can help your learning and maintainiing proper pronunciation..

Update:
We have now re-branded to Learn10 - as the previous name was challenging for some English learners.

You can see our new release, with many additional features, here:
