Vokaline
Vokaline is an online program to
learn foreign languages. You can choose from various books and let Vokaline
ask you all the vocabulary. The vocabulary you answered wrong are
remembered and will be shown in a statistic at the end of a category.
Vokaline has got a lot more handy features. For instance the print-on-cards
function, which prints the selected vocabulary on little cards. Afterwards
you can cut out all the cards at once. Another handy function is the exam
mode. It creates an exam-like atmosphere including a mark when handed in.
The only condition is that
you register an account. Everything is free of charge!
An increased
learning effect. You learn your vocabulary faster and better. Another
advantage is that your keyboard typing speed will increase drastically,
because you always have to fill in the words. Plus that way, you will
remember the orthography more exactly than with any other learning method.
There are also other learning methods, so that you can customize the
learning environment your preferences.

Vokaline provides the following learning modes:

Before you can use these functions, you must select a book from your

then go to "Vocabulary" >> "Modeselection", there click on "ask
words". Then you can select a category and click on the button "ask".
Selecting multiple-categories is also possible by holding Ctrl (or Strg)
while clicking. There is also a link called "settings" which redirects you
to the settings page.

cards". Select a category and click on "print view". Selecting
multiple-categories is also possible by holding Ctrl (or Strg) while
clicking. Then a new window will be opened with the selected vocabulary
shown in card-format. Now you can print all the front pages by clicking on
the printer symbol or by using the hotkey "Ctrl + P". Afterwards you can

the cards in one go.

statistics will be saved in the global statistics, that can be found under

If you want to repeat a category, you can activate this button before. When
activated, you will only be asked the vocabulary you have answered wrong
the last time. Like that you can save a lot of time, because you will not
be asked the vocabulary you already know. Your learn efficiency will
