Here’s a good demonstration from FluentCzech of LWT in action:Įliminating the need to rely on another server: LWT is a piece of cake to install Even though you can do these things manually it’s really convenient to have them all in one window. To make it even more convenient it has an audio player built in so you can play an audio track of the text being spoken, and a one-click way to quickly acquire dictionary definitions using your preferred online dictionaries. The basic idea is that it’s an assisted reader which enables you to mark individual words as known or unknown, and uses a simple color-coding to rank how well you know each word. LWT is very similar to LingQ which is another excellent tool – the only difference being that at this time LWT supports more languages and it’s 100% free. I needed to set the record straight on this because a number of people have contacted me about it. I’ve since deleted the original LWT Source Forge page (and FLTR) so the developer can register it again. I merely wanted to preserve a great project that he seemed to temporarily abandon and then changed his mind. It does not benefit me in the slightest way to keep it and there is virtually zero traffic coming to my site from that page so it’s worthless to me. I never posted his code or tried to take credit for it, and I even went out of my way to transfer it back to him immediately. Unsure of what was happening and wanting to help the developer, I re-registered the Source Forge page for the project to keep it active and save the project.įor bizarre reasons that nobody is able to explain, the LWT developer (I don’t even know his name) later returned, and then repeatedly accused me of “hijacking” his project (instead of thanking me for trying to keep it alive). IMPORTANT UPDATE: The LWT Source Forge page and website was suddenly pulled down recently citing mysterious “legal threats”. It’s a language learning tool that I use on a daily basis for all my languages and a brilliant way to expand on vocabulary in a fun (and slightly addictive) way. I’d be lost without Learning With Texts (LWT).
