Create a personalized language database that mirrors what youre learning in class (or on your own) and witness your daily progress as you use it to create custom exercises that build your long-term memory. Your database (a.k.a. lexicon) will quickly become your go-to reference and study tool for all your vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation needs. Personal Lexicon uses some of the latest research into memory and language acquisition to help you get your arms around a foreign language quickly while also making it fun.

Features include:
• Easy lexicon entry with smart multilingual keyboards and/or voice activation.
• Organize your lexicon into custom themes making words easy to find and allowing for study of related vocabulary together.
• Add relationships between words giving you multiple neural-pathways to memorization. For example, link words that are synonyms, antonyms, or that sound the same.
• Add personal examples (sentences), conjugations, and alternative translations to lexicon entries.
• On demand downloadable audio for 17 languages.
• Create on-the-fly pop quizzes of varying difficulty or…
• Create tests that are scheduled to be taken at intervals until your recall is flawless. The testing repetition system uses a series of complex algorithms to ensure long-term memory retention.
• See graphs of your performance.
• Seven built-in test types, written and listening, each with their own set of configuration options such as timed testing or optional hints.
• Automatic tracking of words that are proving difficult.
• Share your lexicon with friends or classmates.
• Downloadable starter lexicons for some languages.
• Cloud Sync allows you to keep your lexicon in sync on your other devices including with the desktop version.

One of the best things about Personal Lexicon is how well it scales. From a beginning language student, to an interpreter, to a linguist, Personal Lexicon is used by people of all skill levels. Your personal database will never stop being useful.
