(App updated 2022-07-18)
Learn the bound pronouns of Cherokee.
This is a custom flashcard program to help with learning the bound pronouns of the Cherokee Language.
Includes neural network TTS speech generated by IMS-Toucan and Amazon for each of the conjugated challenges to help with learning pitch and cadence.
Headphones are strongly recommended.
For a real learning experience, try the audio only mode using only the conjugated forms with headphones on!
Displays either Syllabary, Latin, or both with or without pronunciation markings.
Practice sets include both "bare" and "conjugated" forms.
Tracks progress and shows the cards that you actually need studying each day.
Unlike many other flashcard programs, it isn't designed to be dogmatic about timings. It has a "jump a day forwards" option, where you can jump forwards in the scheduling as if a day had already passed, and, the timings are set to have a maximum "jump" of one day if you miss a day so that the software doesn't try and feed you the entire deck in a single session ...
Additionally, it only feeds you new cards if you successfully complete all current pending cards within the minimum session time (5 minutes) so that you only get new stuff after you perform decently with existing stuff (from day to day).
