Anyone use Parley?

I've just been trying it out and have been very impressed. At its simplest, it's nothing but a language flashcard program, but it's additional features are interesting:

-Sounds & Pictures for Words (easily added by simply dragging the file and dropping into the appropriate box)
-Word types and verb conjugation
-Various modes for practice/testing
-Synonyms, antonyms
and more.

Unfortunately, there don't seem to be many/any English-Esperanto files currently out there. Still, seems to be a pretty excellent tool for learning vocabulary.

I hadn't seen this before. I followed your link and took a look at the product. It looks like the Windows version is still a little unstable, but they're looking for some testers, which is just what I had in mind.

Thanks for the post!

Sounds interesting. I will give it a trial. Currently I use Anki. I assume somebody has to join the Parley disscussion list to find out where to download the MSWIN excutable? I don't wanna try that KDEonWin a 2nd time.

Have you used Wubi before? It doesn't allow KDE applications in Windows, rather it just allows a quick and easy linux installation without partitioning, but that might be an option if you've got a good computer that boots up quickly and has plenty of space (e.g. not my computer lango.gif).

Yes, I know. I tried it one time, too. But how you mentioned it need some harddisk space. Anyway it's quite interesting to play around with Ubuntu inside a Virtualbox (on a external harddisk). Also there excist a very good German wiki and they also hold regular meetings (Stammtisch) onsite. Quite nice and friendly nerdy online/offline community means you can even meet the people offline you meet online. What I noticed that's not extremly common.
