Software for Adding More Info to Flashcards

Posted: September 12, 2011 in Internet Resouces

There are tons of flashcards freely available on the web for Portuguese (e.g., from Quizlet, those saved while reading books and highlighted on LingQ/Lingro, or check out my own flashcards).  But, in my opinion, most suffer from the paradigm of a 1-to-1 relationship of words between the two languages; the flashcards lack common usage examples, alternative meanings, etc.  So, let’s put the words in context and give our brains more content to absorb!

If you’re looking to enrich someone else’s flashcards, or creating your own,  wouldn’t it be nice to have software to search the web for definitions, synonyms, and translated sentences? (from babLa, FrazeIt, COMPARA, etc).  That’s exactly the software I created, see the video.

(Perhaps) Available in the future by request only. (likely violates Terms of Use of aforementioned websites, so I cannot distribute freely)
