Maybe it's to early for me but I don't understand very well: Are you
speaking aout kvoctrain here, or are you speaking about learning in
general?

What do you mean by "it is not important to be so close to a book." for
learning adjectives... ?

Another question: Do you (and does any of you co-readers) think the
flip-card approach of kvoctrain might be usefull for learning more comple=
x
things as well?
e.g. I remember myself having used flip-cards at school that had _lots_ o=
f
information of the back because the question of the front side was not so
simple.

Again, might it be that an enhanced version of kvoctrain (which then
might be called kflipcard or something like that) could be usefull for th=
at?
