SPANISH INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS
FOR IBM COMPATIBLE COMPUTERS
by
Philip Roger Yant
Doctor Yant's AdequateAnswers
August 1990
SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAMS
Purpose. This package of programs helps in studying the
rudiments of Spanish vocabulary and verb conjugations.
It was designed to simulate the kind of rote studying
that one does with flash cards, but in a more
interesting and interactive way.
Requirements. These programs should run properly on any IBM
compatible computer, using DOS version 2.0 or higher.
Only one disk drive is required. At least 64K of
useable memory is necessary, but 128K is recommended.
No special graphics capability is needed.
Use. Put the disk in the logged drive (e.g. A) or log to the
drive with the disk. Type either GO or SP_MENU,
followed by Return or Enter. Make selections from the
menus.
SPANISH 2
CONTENTS OF THE PACKAGE
The package includes these programs:
SP_VOCAB is a general-purpose vocabulary drill for learning
English-Spanish translations of words and phrases.
SP_VERBS provides practice with the conjugation of verbs.
The following three programs are specialized vocabulary
programs that give visual cues for the meanings of
their words:
SP_DIAS gives practice with the days of the week.
SP_MESES gives practice with months of the year.
SP_MATH gives practice with numbers by posing arithmetic
problems.
The next two programs give additional practice with
nouns and verbs in competition with the clock:
SP_TENSE shows you a verb and you must identify its tense
within a limited time, adjustable from 3/4 to 4
seconds.
SP_NOUNS shows you a noun and you must identify its gender
within a limited time, adjustable from 3/4 to 4
seconds.
SPANISH 3
The easiest way to run the programs is with:
SP_MENU is a menu of the programs above and is the easiest
way to move from program-to-program. When you use
the menu, you do not need to remember the names of
the programs. Running SP_MENU also gives you the
opportunity to change screen colors.
GO.BAT Invokes SP_MENU.
SPANISH.DOC Is this document, which explains the use and also
the advanced features of the system of programs.
If you are unfamiliar with some of the computer
terms that are used, see the DOS PRIMER at the end
of the document. It is not necessary to
understand dos to use this package. If you want
to customize the programs for your own needs, all
you need is a word processor or text editor. See
the section on DATA FILE FORMATS for details.
STUDENT.MAN A more student-oriented manual that describes the
menus and how to use the programs without the
details of how the programs work.
GENERAL FEATURES
Each program may be run separately or as a menu selection
from SP_MENU. There is also a file called GO.BAT that will start
SP_MENU by just typing GO. Within each program, there is a menu
of options. Choice '1' gives you some brief instructions. You
may select a variety of options, but you do not need to. Most
menus have a default selection indicated by brackets [ ]. This
selection will be chosen if you only press the Return or Enter
key, depending on which of these is on your keyboard. From the
main menu of each program, press return or '2' to begin.
In each program, you will be asked a question and asked to
reply, usually by typing in a word. Enter the word in lower
case, unless capitalization is demanded. By this, I mean that
"La Habana" demands capitalization but "el cubano" does not.
Accents are entered with the "'" key, as in "Ame'rica," and the
computer magically transforms it. The other major special
character in Spanish is entered by pressing "~" after the "n" as
in "Espan~a." The dieresis (two dots over the u) is currently
not used by these programs.
At most times when you are asked a question, you may quit to
the previous menu by entering either "q" or "\" followed by
Return. The '\' is more generally used because it can never be
confused with an answer. In the case of Yes/No questions, you
must answer either 'y' or 'n'. In the vocabulary programs, you
may get a hint by entering "?" followed by Return.
SPANISH 4
SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE PROGRAMS
SP_VOCAB uses data files that contain English and Spanish
words or phrases. In the program, you may select the range of
files to use, which language to be given and which to be asked,
and whether to be given a multiple choice test or a fill-in-the-
blank test. This program makes multiple choice tests that are
easy, but they do help you become acquainted with new words. The
program keeps track of which words you miss and asks if you want
to go through just those another time. You may do that over and
over until you get each one right. If you need a small hint,
enter "?" and you will be shown the first letter of the word and,
for nouns, the article. The current data files always include
the article (el or la) with the Spanish noun. Other conventions
followed in the data files are that English infinitives include
"to" so that you can tell the difference, for example, between
"to close" and "close." All adjectives are in the masculine
form, so you don't have to guess the ending.
The ordering of files is usually determined by the names of
these files. You may choose a different order by including a
file named "SP_VOCAB.CFG." In this file, you list the order in
which the vocabulary files will be placed, which files to use,
and also a brief description of the file. For more details on
files, see "DATA FILE FORMATS," below.
SP_DIAS and SP_MESES are similar to each other. Each shows
a calendar (of either the week or the year) and indicates a day
or month for you to identify. If you enter "?" you will be told
the answer. In each, the day or month to name is chosen
randomly. In SP_DIAS, you will be told the name of a day and
asked to name either the previous or the succeeding day.
SP_MATH mixes two drills with numbers. During the program,
you will occasionally be told the name of a number and asked to
enter the digits. More often, you will be given the names of two
numbers, shown their approximate positions on a number line, and
asked the name of the number that results from their addition,
subtraction, or multiplication. The program uses numbers between
zero and 99, but you can lower the maximum number. Therefore, if
you are just starting, you would probably enter a maximum of 10,
and just be quizzed on the numbers from cero to diez. Later, you
can go up to 19 or 20, and so forth.
SP_VERBS gives you practice with the conjugation of verbs in
the simple tenses (as opposed to the compound tenses). From the
menu, you may select any mix of tenses to include. At the
beginning, you probably would just want the present tense.
Later, you might add the preterite, or maybe the preterite alone
without the present, to give you more practice. The data files
for this program classify the verbs into four levels of
difficulty, and you may choose which level to use. The simplest
-ar verbs, without vowel changes, are put in level 1. Similarly
simple -er and -ir verbs are level 2. Common irregular verbs and
most verbs with vowel changes are in level 3. Uncommon irregular
verbs are level 4. When you choose a level, any verbs in lower
SPANISH 5
levels will also be included. To have the most wide-open test,
choose level 4 and "Todos tiempos."
After you have chosen the tenses and level of verbs, and
maybe changed the number of words to include in the test, you
will be prompted with the name of the tense, the infinitive, and
a pronoun. This program does not give hints. If you only enter
Return, or anything besides "q" or "\" or the correct answer, you
will be told the correct answer. As in SP_VOCAB, the program
keeps track of the incorrect responses and will let you review
them, if you wish. This means that you can go through the entire
test, pressing Return at each question in order to see the
answers, then go through it again, trying to remember them.
When you set the size of the test, keep in mind that the
number you choose is the number of individual words. The present
indicative of a verb may include six forms (first person
singular, first person plural, etc.). A small test, therefore,
will include few different verbs.
As in SP_VOCAB, you may control the files available to
SP_VERBS with a special file named SP_VERBS.CFG. See "DATA FILE
FORMATS," below.
SP_NOUNS and SP_TENSE use the same data files that are used
by SP_VOCAB and SP_VERBS. Each presents you with a word and you
have to identify it in a limited amount of time. With SP_NOUNS,
you are shown a noun and must identify whether it is feminine or
masculine. With SP_TENSE, you are shown a verb and must identify
its tense. These programs allow you to make the same changes as
you do with SP_VOCAB and SP_VERBS: select the size of the test,
the vocabulary files to use, the tenses of the verbs, and the
levels of the verbs. In addition, you can set the time you will
be given to identify the word, ranging from 4 seconds down to 3/4
of a second.
SPANISH 6
WEAKNESS OF THESE PROGRAMS
These programs stress rote learning. This approach is worst
in the areas of vocabulary building and verb forms. With
vocabulary, you learn to connect an English word with a Spanish
word, but you may not connect an idea directly to the Spanish
word. In learning the verb forms, you may not develop the
feeling of time and person necessary to truly understand and use
the word. This problem is less severe with SP_DIAS, SP_MESES,
and SP_MATH.
The vocabulary program only allows one definition for a
word. As you progress, you learn more synonyms, and the program
may tell you that a synonym is incorrect, because your definition
is not the one that it has in mind at the time.
I discourage anyone from trying to use the vocabulary files
I provide as their sole source of Spanish. One cannot increase
one's vocabulary very well - either in a foreign language or in
one's mother tongue - just by reading a dictionary. It is better
to create files with sets of words that you need to know, for
some immediate purpose.
STRENGTHS OF THE PROGRAMS
At a beginning level, you may need this kind of rote
learning in order to get started. Later, you can move on. These
programs have value over the time-honored flashcards and other
tools for memorization in the way they vary the order of
presentation and make you commit yourself in writing to an
answer. The value of changing the order is especially useful in
learning numbers, days, and months, where there is a tendency to
learn the words in order and not be able to use them out of
order. Have you ever caught yourself remembering the word for
Thursday by going down the list from domingo?
You may enter your own data files for vocabulary and verbs
(see below, under 'DATA FILE FORMATS'). In this way, you can
concentrate on a discrete set of words or special vocabulary.
For example, you may prepare to travel to a Latin American
country by entering a set of the local idioms (what's the word
for bus in Venezuela?).
SPANISH 7
SUGGESTIONS FOR USING THE PROGRAMS TO STUDY SPANISH
I suspect that most people will use these programs in
conjunction with a course of some sort. The course will provide
you with a pace and direction. This is particularly useful in
vocabulary building, because the words will then be put in some
context and used in sentences. I suggest that you use the
SP_VOCAB program with your own vocabulary data files. See below
for instructions on how to do that. A logical approach would be
to create a data file of vocabulary for each chapter or
otherwise-defined unit of study. Name them in sequential order,
such as VOC_CH1.DAT, VOC_CH2.DAT, etc. Then use the file range
settings in the SP_VOCAB program, or the file SP_VOCAB.CFG, to
choose one or more files to study.
For example, when starting chapter 4, you may enter the new
vocabulary into the file VOC_CH4.DAT. Use the file range setting
in the program to make that both the first and the last file
included in the test. For the first time through, use a multiple
choice test to familiarize yourself with the words, then run
through the list a few times typing in the words. Next, set the
file range to include your previous word lists. In this way, you
expand your vocabulary and integrate it with your previous
knowledge. As time goes by, you may need to concentrate on
earlier lists to freshen your memory, so you might set the range
to just include the first one or two of your data files.
Many words have different meanings in different contexts.
You can use a file to define such a context. Within such a
context even simple words may have a different meaning and a
different translation. When you concentrate on a small number of
files, and thus a small number of contexts, you have a better
idea of which meaning to use.
Noun genders are difficult for English-speakers. To try to
concentrate on learning genders, SP_NOUNS goes through the nouns
in your vocabulary files and makes you quickly identify their
genders. After you have used SP_VOCAB to learn the words, polish
your skill with genders with SP_NOUNS.
When learning the verbs, the usual approach is to start with
present tense of level 1 verbs. After mastering these, move on
to present tense of the subsequent levels. Next, you will
probably pick up the preterite of level 1 verbs, thus moving down
the list of tenses and verb levels. Different curricula choose
to learn the tenses in somewhat different orders, but the order
shown in the tense menu of SP_VERBS is a common one.
A problem with this rote learning of tenses is that it
separates the word from the idea of time. SP_TENSE attempts to
get that back. This program shows you a verb and you must
quickly choose its tense by pressing a key. The order of the
keys for the tenses is roughly a time-line of those tenses:
preterite is farthest left and future is farthest right, with
imperfect and present toward the middle. After you have learned
the forms of at least two tenses, use SP_TENSE to develop a
feeling for the meanings of those tenses.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why did you write these programs? I wrote these for my own use
in starting out in Spanish. I wrote them to answer what I
perceived as my own need, which might be similar to the
needs of others at that stage. Using these programs, I
usually ran rings around my classmates when it came to
vocabulary tests and verb conjugations. They provide a more
efficient way to study. Quite frankly, these programs are
more popular with learners than with teachers, who may
consider this approach primitive.
Why are the screen displays so ugly? The programs were written
with displays only as good as they needed to be, at least in
my point of view. The programs make use of only the most
basic aspects of IBM-compatible computers and MS-DOS. They
should run on anything in that category, regardless of
memory, graphic displays, or monitor, with only the minor
requirement of a disk drive. In recent versions, I have
tried to dress them up a bit without violating this
principle.
Why do I have to type in accents and tildes, instead of using a
single key? I did this on purpose. I could have defined a
function key to represent a', for example. However, I
believed that I would better learn to add the accents and
the tilde at the appropriate places if I had to make a
separate keystroke, just as I do when writing, instead of
using a separate special function key. Older versions of
these programs didn't put the accent over the letter as the
current version does, so I made that concession. If you do
have your computer set up to use a single key stroke for a',
go ahead and use it!
Why are there so many data files? SP_VOCAB and SP_VERBS choose
their data files randomly and then read the entire file of
words. Therefore, the words of one vocabulary file will be
included in a test together. Sometimes this is what you
want, and sometimes you want to mix them up more. When
small groups of words are in separate files, the selection
of words will differ more from run-to-run. This results in
a lot of little files. This approach was taken also to
decrease the amount of memory the program requires.
Can I damage my computer with these programs? No. These
programs themselves do not write to disks, they only read
them. I do not know of any way that they can damage
anything, no matter how you run them. The only trouble you
might cause would be by removing a program or data disk from
a drive before program completion, in which case you may
need to reboot to return to the default colors for your
system.
SPANISH 9
TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS OF RUNNING THE PROGRAMS
If you use SP_MENU (and I suggest you do), it and all the
program files you wish to run must be on the same drive and in
the same directory. Log to that drive and directory and type
SP_MENU to start. SP_MENU will let you change the screen colors
a bit, which you might do if you have a color monitor. I like
green letters on a blue background. If you don't pay attention
and set the text and the background to similar colors, you may
not be able to see anything. If this happens, type q (even
though you won't see anything); that will exit the program and
return the colors to the way they started. Then restart and try
again.
The programs that use data files will give you the
opportunity to select the drive and directory for those files.
Therefore, the data files need not be on the same disk as the
programs, even though everything can fit together with room to
spare. The primary advantage of being able to use a different
disk for your data files is that you can keep different
vocabulary lists or different lists of verbs separated on
different disks, or separated in different subdirectories on the
same disk. For example, Sue and Sara could use the same program
disk, or programs on a hard disk, but have their own vocabulary
lists on separate disks. Another example would be putting the
data files for different courses in different subdirectories.
Files for Spanish 101 might be in directory SP101 and Spanish 103
in SP103.
SPANISH 10
DATA FILE FORMATS
Vocabulary files.
Four programs, SP_VOCAB, SP_VERBS, SP_NOUNS, and SP_TENSE,
use data files with the extension DAT. The vocabulary files are
named VOCxxxxx.DAT, where you can replace the 'x' with anything
you want, in order to help you keep track of the files.
Vocabulary files are of the form of English word or phrase,
comma, Spanish word or phrase. Each must be no longer than 35
characters. The English or Spanish phrases cannot contain
commas, because that is how the program tells where one ends and
the other begins. Each pair of words should be on a separate
line.
The included vocabulary files contain an optional special
code that indicates part of speech. The codes used now are '-'
for nouns, '*' for verbs, and '/' for everything else. These
codes are used in the program when available, but can be left
out; they are necessary for SP_NOUNS. The vocabulary files
follow the next set of conventions, which I recommend: Spanish
nouns are preceded by an article; English infinitives are
preceded by 'to'; adjectives are in the masculine form. The last
convention can be reversed; all could be in the feminine form.
The important point is that you don't need to guess which gender
was used.
Here is part of a vocabulary file:
statue,-la estatua
expelled,/expulsado
frenzy,-el frenesi'
to win,*ganar
Gothic,/go'tico
You can create vocabulary files with a word processor, as
long as you save the file in an unformatted form (WordStar calls
this non-document mode; MicroSoft Word calls it text-only). This
is sometimes called ascii format. The files I supply only use
standard ascii characters, not the extended characters available
on the IBM. This means that the accent is a separate character
after the letter, as is the tilde. The programs later translate
the characters. This practice makes the files easier to edit, so
I suggest you follow this practice, but it isn't necessary.
SPANISH 11
The names and orders of the data files used by SP_VOCAB and
SP_NOUNS can be varied by including a file named SP_VOCAB.CFG.
This file is optional. In this file, you may list the names of
vocabulary files that you want to use, and a brief description of
the files, in the order that you want to use them. If you
include a file named SP_VOCAB.CFG, then any vocabulary files
files not listed will be ignored by the programs. The file name
may be 35 characters long, so it may include a subdirectory name.
The description of the file may also be up to 35 characters.
Here is a sample SP_VOCAB.CFG:
VOC001.DAT,Textbook chapter 1
\SP101\spwords,Basic terms
quixote1,Don Quixote Part 1
Note some features of this example: 1) You may use any file
name that you want; 2) You may list the files in any order, not
necessarily alphabetical; 3) The files need not be in the same
subdirectory. What you cannot see here is that any other
vocabulary files that are present on the disk will be ignored by
the program. This has the good effect of letting you concentrate
on only some files. If the program is being used in a school,
for example, the content of SP_VOCAB.CFG can be changed through
the term, or different versions can be given to different
students, while the actual data files remain present and
unchanged. The bad effect is that you may forget that you have
this file, or forget to add new file names to it, and wonder why
you cannot use some of your data files.
If SP_VOCAB.CFG is present when the vocabulary program
begins, the program will look for all the files listed. if some
files are not present, they will be left out of the choices.
This feature can be used to control which files are used. If, in
the above file we place a ';' in front of a line, such as
";quixote1,Don Quixote Part 1", then the program will look for,
and fail to find, ";quixote1." So what? You can have a
SP_VOCAB.CFG file with 100 file names in it, and place a ';' in
front of those to ignore. If the programs are used in a school,
for example, the file may contain the whole year's worth of
listings, with a ';' in front of those not yet covered.
Verb files.
Verb files have names of the form SVERxxxx.DAT. They must
follow a strict format, in order to keep the tenses and persons
straight. Here is a sample verb file:
(infinitive) dar,L3
(present) doy,das,da,damos,dan
(preterite) di,diste,dio,dimos,dieron
(imperfect) daba,dabas,daba,da'bamos,daban
(future) dare',dara's,dara',daremos,dara'n
(condicional) dari'a,dari'as,dari'a,dari'amos,dari'an
(pres subjunc) de',des,de',demos,den
SPANISH 12
On each line, the verb forms are in the order of first
person singular, second person singular, third person singular,
first person plural, second person plural, and third person
plural. Following the common American practice, second person
plural can be left out, but the order must be maintained. Most
of the included files have the second person plural but some may
not. The parenthetic expressions at the beginning are optional
and are there to help you maintain the order. They may be
followed by a tab or a space, or there may be no break before the
verb. Do not follow the parenthesis with a comma. The "L3" on
the line with the infinitive is the level of that verb. Levels
range from L1 to L4.
A verb file may include any number of verbs, repeating these
seven lines for each new verb. All seven lines must be present,
with at least one word on each. Lines that have fewer than five
words on them will not be included in the test. The following is
an acceptable verb data file:
(infinitive) tomar,L1
(present) tomo,tomas,toma,tomamos,toma'is,toman
(preterite) tome'
(imperfect) tomaba,tomabas,tomaba,toma'bamos,tomabais,tomaban
(future)later
(condicional)later
(present subjunctive)later
(infinitive) mirar,L1
(present) miro,miras,mira,miramos,mira'is,miran
(preterite) mire'
(imperfect) miraba,mirabas,miraba,mira'bamos,mirabais,miraban
(future) later
(condicional) later
(present subjunctive) later
The line for preterite of tomar with only tome' on it, and the
lines with the word later on them, will be ignored by the
program. This file can be used for studying the present and/or
the imperfect of tomar and mirar. Later, when you want to study
other tenses, you can add them. In this way, you can build up
your own set of verb files, using verbs you want to learn.
If a file named SP_VERBS.CFG is present, the SP_VERBS
program will read that for names of files, as in the case of
vocabulary files, discussed above. The difference is that
SP_VERBS doesn't allow you to select a range of files, so the
order of files is not important. What SP_VERBS.CFG allows you to
do is select a subset of verb files to be used, or to direct the
program to files in other directories or other disks. As in the
case of SP_VOCAB.CFG, if SP_VERBS.CFG is present, any files that
are not listed there will be ignored by the verb programs.
SPANISH 13
DOS PRIMER
MS-DOS and IBM-DOS are programs called "operating systems."
They direct the various components to do what you or a program
ask of them. The operating system is read from a disk when you
start the computer. Some of the features of DOS are briefly
explained here.
DOS takes COMMANDS from the keyboard and attempts to execute
them. For some commands, the information for execution is
already in memory and for others, the information is on a disk.
A common command is DIR, which is executed in memory. This
causes DOS to display a list of the files on a disk.
FILES are units of information stored on the disk. These
may be programs, such as SP_MENU.EXE, or they may be data, as the
vocabulary files. Files have names that consist of 1-8
characters followed by a period and up to three more characters.
The last three characters are called the extension. Files which
have an extension of EXE or COM are programs. Data files often
have the extension of DAT and text files (or documents) often
have the extensions DOC or TXT. A special class of file has the
extension BAT. This is a text file that contains a 'batch' of
commands for DOS to execute.
DRIVES are labelled by a letter, followed by a colon, such
as "A:". When you LOG to a drive, DOS will look for any programs
to execute, or files to read, on that drive. You log to a drive
by entering the drive letter, a colon, and pressing the return or
enter key. DOS will then attempt to read that drive, whether
there is a disk there or not.
The files on a disk may be gathered in different
SUBDIRECTORIES. Subdirectories are like headings in an outline.
Like files, they have a name with up to 8 characters. Besides
looking for files in the logged drive, DOS also confines its
search to the logged directory. You can change the logged
directory with the command CD, followed by the name. You can
make a directory with the command MD. Subdirectories are most
useful on disks with many files, such as hard disks. On most
floppy disks, all the files are listed in the ROOT directory,
which has no name. Usually, logging to a drive also logs to its
root directory.
ASCII is an electronic code for numbers, letters, and
symbols. It is the code used by most microcomputers. Because of
this, files that only use ascii code can be transferred easily
between different kinds of computers. IBM computers use ascii
codes, but also have additional codes that are not part of ascii.
These additional codes produce the special characters of Spanish
and other languages, as well as a variety of symbols. Many word
processing programs use their own codes, but usually can produce
files with ascii codes, as well. In producing the data files for
these programs, you must be sure that the files use ascii codes.
SPANISH 14
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
When I started taking Spanish at my local community college
early in 1987, I found, on the GEnie computer, a program named
Teacher, written by Andrew Bartorillo. He had placed that
program in the public domain sometime earlier. Unfortunately for
me, it was for an IBM computer and I didn't have one at the time.
I decided to write a version for my computer. Although I had
Andrew Bartorillo's BASIC program, it was easier for me to start
from scratch, using Turbo Pascal v.1.0. I did design my screens
after his. I copied some features of his program, such as the
multiple choice format, and skipped others, such as the ability
to print tests. I eventually broke up the single program into
two, and added other features to my package. When I bought an
IBM-compatible, it was fairly easy to transfer the program to
DOS, again with Turbo Pascal, several versions more advanced.
Over this period, several friends have used the programs and
suggested improvements.
