  Description     : drill yourself in language vocabulary

LaTrine is a curses based LAnguage TRaINEr. It takes a dictionary and
asks you for a word or a phrase, and you try to give the correct answer.
You can choose in what direction LaTrine shall ask, and the selection of
the words or phrases will depend on how often you don't know the correct
translation for the respective phrase. This is a a conventional way to
drill yourself in vocabulary.

In addition to this package you need an appropriate dictionary. You may
write your own word list, or you can download it from the internet. The
Free Dictionaries Project at http://sourceforge.net/projects/freedict/
provides dictionaries for about 50 language combinations, which can be
used with LaTrine.
