[kde-edu]: Parley feature request

[Frederik Gladhorn]

Hi Steven!
Thanks for reporting this.
I wonder if you could just use lessons to group the words. But I know really 
nothing of Indonesian grammar.

There are many features in Parley that are probably not used by the majority 
of the people using it. But you can just ignore them :)

Greetings,
Frederik
