Quick Start to Parley
For a start you could download vocabulary files directly from the Internet using .
Here, for example, I choose the file "Basic vocabulary German-English" with a click on the button in the dialog, the file is saved in your home folder ~/share/apps/kvtml.
On the left of the main window you see a list of lessons. To select a lesson for training tick the box in front of it. After selecting one or more lessons let's start learning by clicking in the toolbar.
After starting the practice Parley asks you to enter a translation. Let's assume that you are not too sure about it. Just click once on and the first letter of the word appears in the entry box. Click again and the second letter shows up. If you prefer to see the word completely, click on the button. If you want to check your answer click on . To ignore words or to mark them as known without entering them, click on the or buttons respectively. In the progress box you can see the number of words you have answered correctly and the seconds remaining for your answer. You can configure this option on the Advanced page in the Configure Practice settings.
In case you find writing the words too hard, why not try a multiple choice test? After stopping the practice click on and choose a different practice method. You can also change the order of languages.
This is how a Multiple Choice test looks like:
