This is another approach that I've been considering for a while, which could be easily set up in a cooperative wiki; the actual quiz logic could be handled in Javascript.

Re: Animal Sounds Vocabulary List?

I don't teach Greek, but some thoughts if they're helpful: The following link has modern Greek onomatopoeia; good to see that _brekekekex_ from Aristophanes _The Frogs_ is still current. Perhaps you could try searching LSJ for the modern terms and finding examples that way? - http://www.eleceng.adel...

Re: First 1000 Words in Koine Greek

Facebook style photo tagging would be ideal, with quizzes based on images running a close second.

Hi Jonathan, I've been tinkering with some ideas here; there's a KJV_DEF tag in the Bible Foundation's Strong's XML file which is a suitable starting point. I'll demo something in a little while. -- Nigel.

Re: Ideal review intervals for memorization?

Here we go. A random encounter with some Russians at a Jazz gig put me onto the research I'd assumed was out there... It's called "Spaced Repetition" or more precisely "Graduated Repetition". 5 seconds, 25 seconds, 2 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours, 1 day, 5 days, 25 days, 4...

Hi Carl, A Concise Greek-English Dictionary of the New Testament Prepared by Barclay M. Newman, Jr. © 1971 by United Bible Societies, Edition © 1993 Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, Stuttgart.
