- These are some introductory notes for Go Learn It!.
-
- OVERVIEW OF GO LEARN IT!
-
- Use this program to study French, German, Italian, Spanish and Russian,
- or any other subject where there are equivalent things that can be matched.
- With this program you can use your computer to study from any textbook or
- study guide. For any subject, you can make files of dates and events,
- persons and their significance, things and their characteristics, etc.
- Or, you can just learn the words and phrases in the files you receive
- when you register.
-
- This program is very straight forward. It is easy to learn and easy to run.
- It has features that no other language learning program has, including
- the ability to deal with multiple correct answers and the option of having
- your answer count as correct even if your capitalization, punctuation and
- spacing is not exactly the same as the answer stored in the computer.
-
- You can test yourself by multiple choice and fill in. You can translate
- from English to a foreign language and from a foreign language to English.
- You can make new files, edit existing files, add to files, look at files
- and print files.
-
- Each time you test yourself the entries are randomly mixed ( and if you
- choose a multiple choice test so are the answers).
-
- There are other options, such as timing yourself, setting a time limit,
- seeing a variety of icons with your answers, and scrambling the
- entries.
-
- You can retest yourself on your mistakes and print them out for further
- study.
-
- I have included some files made with this program. The included files
- will give you ideas of how you can use this program.
- The included files are:
-
- 1.) Three vocabulary files each for French, German, Italian,
- Spanish and Russian.
-
- 2.) Data files with states and their capitol cities, European
- countries and their capitol cities, some varied and simple
- arithmetic problems (for kids), stars who have won an Oscar
- and the picture they won it for, inventors and their inventions,
- pop music, the arts, synonyms and antonyms.
-
- The included files will give you an idea of the kinds of files you can
- create yourself.
-
- If you register you will receive files with approximately 3500 vocabulary
- words and phrases (around 750 each for French, German, Italian and
- Spanish; about 500 for Russian), more data files and two games. One, called
- Smiles, will help you learn what is in the files created with this program.
- The other is a fun way to waste time.
-
- This program requires Windows 3.1, the True Type font option installed
- and enabled, and an unzipping utility. If you have Windows 3.1 you can
- run True Type fonts.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- 1. In order to install this program, open the File menu from Program Manager.
- and Select Run. If the files are on a floppy, type the letter
- of the drive that the floppy is in, a colon, and the word "Install", and
- press Enter. If the files are on a hard disk directory, type the path,
- a backslash and the word "Install" and press Enter. Or, double click
- "Install.exe" from File Manager.
-
- 2. You can check if you have the True Type option is enabled by
- opening the Fonts program in the Control Panel group, clicking on the True
- Type button and seeing if the enabled box is checked. If so, fine. If not,
- check it, click the OK button and then restart windows.
- You can also call up the Font program by running RussFont, a program
- included with this package (see 3. below).
-
- 3. If you want to use the programs to study Russian, you must install a
- Russian font, which is included. I have also included a program to help you
- install the font, called RussFont.
-
- 4. If the Install program will not load everything, then copy everything
- into a directory of your choice except Learnit.hlp, which goes in your main
- Windows directory.

- out, if you intend to keep using it you must register it by sending $19.95
- plus $1.75 for postage and supplies to

- When you register you will receive files with approximately 3500 vocabulary
- words and phrases (750 for French, German, Italian and Spanish; 500 for
- Russian), more general data files, and two games which you have never
- played before. One game, called Smiles, will help you learn what is in
- the files created with this program. The other is a fun way to waste time.
-
- You may give the program to as many people as you wish. When you do so,
- you must transfer all the files on the disk or in the .ZIP file. Each
- user must send in registration fees and costs unless they are members of

- mailings and BBS upload time are all paid out of my pocket. Therefore, if
- you use and enjoy the program, please send the registration fee.
