learnVocab: spaced learning

Description

spaced learning e.g. for vocabulary. Uses interactive questions. Note: this currently clears the console! Based on https://ncase.me/remember by Nicky Case. At the beginning, new vocab will be asked, skip with empty ENTER.

Usage

learnVocab(vocfile = "C:/Dropbox/Sonstiges/Vokabeln.csv", minhours = 3,
  nnew = 3)

Arguments

vocfile

File with vocabulary (or whatever you want to learn). The first two lines must contain the learning day and date, see examples. The third line must contain LEVEL;known;new, the last two being (short) names, e.g. languages (known will be displayed first).

minhours

Minumal number of hours since the last test. If the time difference is less, nothing happens. This enables putting learnVocab in Rprofile without being asked stuff all the time at every restart of R. DEFAULT: 3 hours

nnew

Number of new entries to be added interactively at the start. They can still be skipped by writing nothing and pressing the ENTER key. DEFAULT: 3

Value

Updated vocab list, invisibly.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
 # Excluded from checks, works only interactively! 
# initiate empty vocab list:
vocfile <- tempfile("myvocab",fileext=".csv")
cat("learning_day 1\n2019-04-19 17:43:47\nLEVEL;DE;FR\n", file=vocfile)

learnVocab(vocfile) # asks new vocab, then tests and changes level as needed
# }
# NOT RUN {
# }
