Hi all again, Too long time no see ^_^ I'm always interested in softwares like this. I've tried some vocabulary learning programmes such as vocaboly however I'm not satisfied with updating new words system of these program. Vocaboly is also a good tool helping us to put new words into our mind in a quite relaxing and convenient way, yet this program doesn't have updating new words function dispite the fact that it enable users to creat their own words list. I asked the author of the software, yet he answered me that he didn't intend to develop the software anymore. hic.
I've download the lastest version of Parley software at http://www.brothersoft.com/parley-download-136297.html however I don't know how to register for it, it requires me to enter license key before running. So could you please give me a license key or help me to register for this great tool. I would highly appreciate that. Again, thank Jose very much for providing us such great software. looking forward to hearing from you soon. best regards, NgoNam ----- Original Message ----- From: Eduardo Costa To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 10:47 AM Subject: [ESL Podcast] Re: a great tool to help you to build your vocabulary All great tool! It´s nice because we can use it for many things and not only to study english. It´s looks a excellent tool for kids to learn forms, numbers, to write and so forth. José Daniel Parley looks also nice, the open source and free community always make great job. Plabo, did you already use anki and mnemosyne ? what did you like more ? take care ed.

I'm so happy with Parley because it is so simple and powerful and when you want you test yourself. You can use simple words or idioms or phrases or fonetic transcription. Now when i find a word or an idiom (by the way, like those i find in your great blog)i write down in the program to make a lesson (your lesson can have all the entries you want) and from time to time i test myself (i like so much multiple choice, but you can choose several options to test yourself like writting the entire word, or find a word in mixed letters) And the good thing we can share our lessons we do !!! -- Best regards On May 2, 6:39 pm, Pablo <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi José, > > It seems Parley is a Linux-only tool :( Some days ago I wrote about > tools like Anki (http://ichi2.net/anki/) and Mnemosyne (http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/).
