Hi Mark,

I learned originally with Wenham and liked it; though I'd have preferred
accents from the outset. The site you mention tries to redirect to an
Oxford University user page, but Duff is no longer in their web directory:

http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/web/userpages/#D

If he's at another institution, you could search with that info.

On googling, I see that someone has loaded the vocab into a nice quiz site...

Nigel.
