This vocabulary trainer several people can work, for each you can create an account, can be stored under the then state of the individual lessons.
There are several vocabularies available. A basic vocabulary with basic and advanced vocabulary (with more than 4,000 words) and even more, are included. More vocabulary databases can be downloaded from the Internet, but the responsibility is no longer the editorial responsibility of Langenscheidt, are created by private individuals and are only partially suitable. You can also create your own vocabularies, in which you type the words or imported from text files. This is very handy because you can create highly customized lessons.
There are various training methods, their statistical analysis show the learning success. Here the vocabulary trainer offers an exercise by the index card method, dictations, multiple choice tests and listening and speaking, and there are even some games such as crossword puzzles. The workload can determine the program also, you can be training, for example, to a specific date align towards.
Lessons can also be printed or exported to mobile devices as audio files, so that lessons can be learned on the way.
Of course, a dictionary is available. With the included vocabularies, for every word an example sentence and everything is output also spoken.
Overall, a powerful tool for vocabulary learning, which is also fun and learning outcomes indicating any time.
The disadvantage, however, the following points:
- If I'm training with the speech recognition, the program crashes after a while, after about 30 minutes.
- The multitude of settings and options, and the presentation confusing at the beginning very, first of all you have to short the program set apart, intuitively and immediately begin unfortunately is not. Even if you can limit the scope of choices.
- Words that have multiple meanings can be understood only in the context of the example sentence, the rapid training therefore one makes false calls because you have not the right meaning, or there are multiple queries with the same importance and of course you do not know what answer is expected ,
CONCLUSION: The disadvantages are a total of rather small, so I can recommend the Langenscheidt vocabulary trainer.
