HEBREW FLASHCARDS
Description:
HEBREW FLASHCARDS was written for the beginning
student desiring to learn the Hebrew language. Word
definitions, English transliterations, and where
applicable, Strong's concordance numbers, are available to
the user within this program. Interactive, on-screen
quizzes are also available.
Requirements:
To run HEBREW FLASHCARDS, your IBM PC (or
compatible) must have DOS 3.0 or higher, and a graphics
adapter (CGA, EGA or VGA).
To begin:
Load the program by typing --> HFC then press
[ENTER]
Menu selections:
HEBREW FLASHCARDS is rather straight forward. A
Main Menu appears offering the user numerous "flashcard"
categories. Press the key which corresponds to the
category the user wishes to view.
When in a sub-menu selection, the user can press
the [ESC] key to return to the previous menu display. If
the user continues to press [ESC], they will soon find
themselves back at the Main Menu.
The "O" selection from the Main Menu will bring up
an "options" menu. There are several options which can be
selected - just position the highlighted menu selection bar
over your choice, then press [ENTER]. (You can also make
option selections by pressing the key that corresponds to
the first letter of the option selection. First letter
selections are only available within "Options"!) A "√"
mark indicator will be displayed next to each option that
is turned "on".
Quizzes:
There are two quiz options available to the user -
Sequential and Random. Although only one of these options
is displayed in the Quiz options sub-menu, the other can
be toggled by selection. Position the highlighted menu
selection bar over "Sequential", press [ENTER], and
"Random" will be toggled and displayed where "Sequential"
used to be. The same applies vice versa - Random back to
Sequential.
Sequential quizzes will display a word/card in
alphabetical order. Random quizzes, on the other hand,
will display a word/card in a random manner, i.e., in no
specific order.
Within a quiz, the user will be prompted for
a defintion. A score in the form of a percentage is
displayed to show the user's progress. In the case of the
"alphabet", when the "quiz" option is "on," the user must
identify whether one letter of the alphabet comes
before or after another letter. Press [A] if the first
letter appears "AFTER" the second letter, else press [B] if
the letter occurs "BEFORE" the second letter. This
"alphabet" order quiz will always be Random, regardless of
whether the "Sequential" quiz option is turned on or not.
There is no quiz available for "vowels".
Guide to Abbreviations:
adj. = adjective m. = masculine
conj. = conjunction n. = noun
f. = feminine pl. = plural
intj. = interjection sing. = singular
Guide to English Transliterations:
An attempt has been made in HEBREW FLASHCARDS to
give an English transliteration for every Hebrew word
and phrase. Although each English transliteration has
been made as simple to understand as possible, the
following guide can be used in questionable cases:
"AH" = sounds like "a" in "yacht"
"AW" = rhymes with "saw"
"EH" = sounds like "e" in "let"
"IGH" = rhymes with "eye"
"OH" = sounds like "oa" in "oat"
"OKE" = rhymes with "smoke"
"OO" = sounds like "ew" in "few"
"OW" = rhymes with "cow"
To escape and return to Main Menu:
When viewing flashcards, or taking a quiz, the
user can always return to the Main Menu screen by pressing
the [ESC] key.
To exit:
To exit the program, the user must press [X] or
[ESC] at the Main Menu.
