This free program lets you learn basic vocabulary for a number of foreign languages. Funetica's teaching tools are primitive: first you view a list of 200 words per language, then quiz yourself with a multiple-choice test. You can add your own words, but we're not sure how many beginner language students will put this feature to use. Funetica includes vocabulary packs for Italian, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and transliterated (that is, not in Cyrillic script) Russian. The program's interface is fairly simple to understand, but it's unattractive, especially when you're swapping out the ads it forces you to look at. Though you can't view the vocabulary in groups of numbers, greetings, and so forth, you can load a shopping vocabulary pack that sometimes uses pictures to illustrate the item being named. If you're looking to learn the brass tacks of major European languages for free, you might try Funetica, but it's by no means a full-blown instructional tool.

Pros
None
Cons
This thing is worthless and took 20 minutes of my time to download, install, restart, try to run it, and then get on here to type this. Don't even bother.
Summary
Very simple and easy - no clutter on screen.

Pros
Quick and easy to use, quick download. No apparent bugs, very cheap.
Cons
Doesn't have the functions of larger applications - but for 2mb its very good. The help file could be much better.
Summary

Developer’s Description

Learn a range of foreign-language vocabularies and test your knowledge.

Funetica allows you to learn languages with an easy-to-use interface. Additional language packs are available, and the list is growing week by week; the program includes a sample (with French, Spanish, Russian, Italian, and Portuguese). This is a community-based program--you and other people can create your own language packs to share with everyone. Version 5.04 fixes a problem with saving and loading language packs and fixes some other small bugs.
