EDIT: Shame on me, this is the same that Arono was saying a post before.

:cool:

Have you tested it, though? I hope it will run like desktop on maemo 5

No yet, but I plan to. I never tried the desktop version, but was aware of the summer of code development so, when I saw this thread, and nobodysbusiness specifically asking, I replied without even looking at the date he had asked. I saw your link (in fact, I read nobodysbusiness question in your quote), but as it hasn't mnemosyne in the url, I thought there were different things.

I'll try when I get home :)

are there any app to improve the listening skills?

example of interesting features:
-listen audio and chose the correct word
-phonetic symbols+audio listening
-flash cards app with support for phonetic symbols

Hello, daperezg!
Mnemosyne for Maemo uses Espeak TTS engine and supports a lot of languages. You can listen word pronunciation.
Also you can create cards with audio fragments (files) as question.
Mnemosyne for Maemo supports three-sided cards which contains question, pronunciation (phonetic symbols) and answer fields.

Thanks plastun,
I've tried mnemosyne for maemo os2008, and it has a nice interface, and I want to try before to create my own cards.

I downloaded some data files(cards) for mnemosyne, however i didn't know where copy them but i think i found the path, and I will try later with the following path:

.mnemosyne/default.mem

It is not possible to use *.mem database in beta8 version, because *.mem database used in Mnemosyne 1 version. But we work on creating convertor, which can convert *.mem database to current database format.

P.S.
From that day 'Mnemosyne for Maemo' is available in Diablo-extras repository.

Supermemo.net has some free and paid language course that has native speaker recordins for each word. Very good. barely works in the browser though, but it's ok.

I hope mnemosyne will arrive for maemo 5 soon because I have a pretty large base I would get rid of when commuting and such :)

Doesn't Rosetta Stone have some stuff that's supposed to work on any mp3 player? I never tried it, but I saw it listed. I've spent a lot of time using its online courses, which are a lot cheaper than buying a set if you don't forget about them and automatically keep paying monthly for a long time. But they don't work on tablets.

Great, but...

I'm not finding things correctly. Your link doesn't work for me.

I can find the basic Russian For You site here:

http://english.ruvr.ru/2007/01/23/118516.html

Lesson 2 and lesson 4 links seem to work, but the others don't?
