Chapter 2. Quick Start to KVocTrain

Here is KVocTrain the first time you run it, either from the TDE menu->Edutainment->Languages or with Alt+F2 and type kvoctrain in the field.


KVocTrain main window

You can study a file in the examples by using the File->Open Example... menu. There are 2 files here for you to learn how to use KVocTrain. The file sample-en.kvtml shows you some vocabulary words in English, German and French.

You can also get vocabulary files through the Internet using File Get New Vocabularies... The Get Hot New Stuff dialog will open with a list of available documents.


Get Vocabularies dialog

Here I choose the Katakana file to learn Japanese and with a click on the Install button in the dialog, the file is installed. Click on the Close button to exit the dialog. The Katakana vocabulary file is opened in the KVocTrain window.


The Katakana file

This file consists in 26 lessons and should allow me to learn Katakana writing for the basics letters and syllables. So lets start with lesson 1. Open Configure KVocTrain... in the Settings menu and go to the Thresholds page. You can set which lessons you want to learn. We highlight Lesson 1 and click on Apply to save the Setting and on OK to close the dialog.


Configure your lesson

In the Learning menu, choose what you want to learn. For example I choose ri as I want to learn the Katakana signs associated with Romaji. I then choose Create Multiple Choice From jp and the following dialog appears:
