MEMORU is written in JavaScript, and is portable to
computers using different operating systems.
However the various Browsers do not react the same way. Use
Mozilla/Firefox.
It is possible to save the
lessons on your computer and work offline.
The female voice files were created using the
MBROLA environment for voice synthesis.
Those voice files (*. mp3) use a lot of a space, more than I have at my
disposal on my server. I cannot keep them all.
The ideas behind MEMORU is quite simple:
It's easier to remember a sentence than words, and easier to remember words than letters .
The words at the end of the sentence, are more important than the first, when memorizing.
Is not useful to request the learner to prove
again and again that he is remembering everything. That
is his own responsibility.
It's counter-productive to compel the learner to type all letters of a
word or a sentence to remember.
Is not necessary to hide the most significant words, the remembering
process also works when one hides words that can be easily guessed.
Something is well remembered if it has been forgotten three times
already. So don't get frustrated if you forgot; next time you'll
remember.
A previous version of this program was used in a school to teach French as a second language
