- PUMA Shareware
- Presents:
- Spanish <--> English FLASHCARDS
-
- FLASHCARDS is designed to build Spanish vocabulary quickly and
- easily. It is simple to operate so that the student can
- concentrate on mastering the lessons.
-
- In each lesson, the student is presented with 5 sets of 20 cards.
- Each set is called a level and the program randomly selects from
- the 20 cards, 50 times. The object is to complete the 50
- questions without incurring more that two errors (three
- "Strikes" and you're out). If you get the third strike, the high
- score is updated and you start over. Typically you would start
- with level one and repeat it until you have "Successfully"
- completed it 10 times.
-
- At level two, you will be presented with a second set of 20
- cards. At level two you work your way through the 2 nd set and
- then the first set (you already know these), until you have
- completed both sets "Successfully" 10 times.
-
- By the time you get to level 5 you will work your way from level
- 5 to level 4 to level 3 to level 2 to level 1. As you progress
- through the series, the questions seem easier.
-
-
- Getting started:
-
- So you start up and are presented with a question, and you
- haven't got a clue. Take a wild guess or just press the enter
- key. FLASHCARD will beep and display the correct "Answer" above
- your input. The cursor then travels to the upper right corner of
- the screen where it waits for you to <hit any key>. Note the
- difference between your input and the correct answer and then
- bump a key for the next question.
-
- You will likely strike out 10 times or more before you complete
- the set successfully. When you make a error, the question will
- repeat after a few times. To start try to get the first letter
- of the answer correct and then a few more letters correct on
- succeeding tries.
-
-
- Review:
-
- When you have mastered lesson 1 continue with lesson 2. I like
- to go back and review all previous lessons after completing a
- lesson. The repetition and review will quickly make these words
- yours to command.
-
-
- Finally:
-
- At startup you will be given two options. The first is the level
- (1 - 5) and the second is whether you want Spanish or English
- input. If you are a beginner, the English input will be a bit
- easier. You should however alternate Spanish and English input
- until you master the cards in both modes.
-
- The only other thing you need to know is how to get out of the
- program if you want to return to the operating system. That's
- easy, press <CTRL e> followed by enter.
-
