The Foreign Language Toolkit
The Foreign Language Toolkit comprises four application programs. They are:
窶｢ Verbs & Nouns. You use 'Verbs & Nouns' to write dictionaries and modules for practising inflections, and for recording sound and for exercises based on sound. You also use the 'Verbs & Nouns' program to browse the dictionaries and to practise the foreign language on a word level, with modules such as those listed above.
窶｢ V&N Lookup. This is a program which searches the V&N dictionaries simultaneously for any word you specify. If you're in the middle of writing a letter and you want to check a word quickly, you can copy the word to the clipboard, and 'V&N Lookup' will look for it. 'V&N Lookup' will also check the spelling of any text that you copy to the clipboard. It can also perform word-for-word translation of passages of text.
窶｢ Language Toolkit Writer. You use 'Language Toolkit Writer' to write interactive multimedia lessons that are beyond the scope of 'Verbs & Nouns'. To make use of lessons prepared with Language Toolkit Writer, students use the companion program 'Language Toolkit Reader'.
窶｢ Language Toolkit Reader. You can use 'Language Toolkit Reader' to access modules and lessons prepared both by 'Verbs & Nouns' and by 'Language Toolkit Writer'.
