CardFlasherCardFlasher is a program that aims to teach foreign language such as Japanese via the use of electronic flashcards. A small flashcard appears at the bottom-right of the screen at user-defined intervals. On this card a symbol/character/word is displayed and a text field requests the user enter the equivalent character/word for the displayed symbol. If the user repeatedly fails certain cards, then those card will be displayed more frequently. I wrote this freeware program in order to learn the Japanese syllabileries Hiragana and Katakana (collectively known as Kana), as well as Kanji (the large number of symbols that the Japanese inherited from China). However, this program is completely configurable and can be used to teach the Greek alphabet for example.
The application proved to be quite popular and I had people contacting me to let me know that entire classrooms at their school were using it. I was also approached by a publishing company in Japan, but we never ended up coming to any deal sadly. The latest version of CardFlasher is 0.99beta. Please note that this is now unsupported software, but if I get enough requests I might consider dusting it off. |
