\n\n> Use the R console as an interactive learning environment\n\nThe package `polyglot` helps you learn foreign language vocabulary or\nany [flashcards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashcard) using R as an\ninteractive learning environment. The package implements a simplified\nversion of the\n[SuperMemo-2](https://www.supermemo.com/en/archives1990-2015/english/ol/sm2)\nlearning algorithm which optimizes intervals between repetitions,\nminimizes the time you spend on learning, and helps you achieve your\nlearning goals in a more effective way.\n\n### Installation\n\n``` r\n# Install the released version from CRAN\ninstall.packages(\"polyglot\")\n```\n\nTo get a bug fix, or use a feature from the development version, you can\ninstall polyglot from GitHub.\n\n``` r\n# install from Github\ndevtools::install_github(\"lgnbhl/polyglot\")\n```\n\n### Create a spreadsheet to study\n\nThis package works with spreadsheets. You can create any spreadsheet to\nstudy in a [CSV\nformat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) with a\n`question` column, an `answer` column and an `hint/example` column\n(optional).\n\nFor example, you could make a spreadsheet of 30 basic expressions in\nFrench you want to study.\n\n![](man/figures/screenshot1.png)\n\nTo try this spreadsheet, just type the following:\n\n``` r\npolyglot::get_examples()\n```\n\nThis function copies CSV spreadsheets in your folder of reference, where\nyou should add all the spreadsheets you want to study with polyglot.\n\nTo open this folder, simply run `learn_dir()`.\n\n``` r\npolyglot::learn_dir()\n```\n\nTo launch the learning environment, run the `learn()` function. Then\nchoose in the interactive menu the file you want to study.\n\n``` r\npolyglot::learn() # to launch the interactive learning environment\n```\n\nThe GIF below shows the learning of the CSV spreadsheet file\n`French_30_Basic_Expressions.csv`.\n\n![](man/figures/screenshot2.gif)\n\n### Learn with images\n\nYou can add images by putting the Web URL or the [full\npath](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_\\(computing\\)) of your images\ninto the spreadsheet rows.\n\nFor example, you can study the locations, flags and capitals of [all the\nsovereign\nstates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states) around\nthe world. Note that the images into the 3rd column `Hint` are displayed\ninto your Web browser.\n\n![](man/figures/polyglot_world.gif)\n\nYou could also memorize the recipes of the [74 official\ncocktails](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IBA_official_cocktails)\nof the International Bartenders Association (IBA).\n\n![](man/figures/polyglot_cocktails.gif)\n\nThe CSV spreadsheet files given as examples are\n[here](https://github.com/lgnbhl/polyglot/tree/master/inst/extdata).\n\nHappy learning\\!","jobInfo":{"package":"polyglot","version":"0.3.0","parsingStatus":"success","parserVersion":1,"parsedAt":"2020-05-18T10:31:01+0000"}}
