A battery case 24 is provided in the casing 20, and an electric circuit such as an analog amplifier is incorporated in the casing 20. Further, 25 is a recording switch.

In the language learning machine A having the above structure, the gist of the present invention is that at least two magnetic tapes 11 are provided on the magnetic tape 11.
A plurality of tracks, which are equal to or more than the tracks, are provided, and different information is recorded in advance for each track, while the card reader 2 is provided with a selected channel Ch corresponding to each track, and different information can be selectively reproduced according to each channel Ch There is that.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, a magnetic tape
The first track T1 to the eighth track T8 are sectioned and assigned to 11, and different information is recorded in advance for each.

In this embodiment, the first track T1 is in English, the second track T2 is in French, the third track T3 is in German, and so on. The sentences corresponding to the character portion 12 and the picture pattern portion 13 printed on the card 1 are analog-recorded.

On the other hand, in the analog reproducing head 5 arranged in the slit 4 of the card reader 2, as shown in FIG.
Arranged to correspond to T8. 51 is a head mounting portion.

Incidentally, the analog reproducing head 5 may have a structure in which the head for one track is mechanically moved to the position of each track T1 to T8 in addition to the above structure.

As shown in FIG. 3, the operation switches 3 of the card reader 2 are provided with the first channel Ch1 to the eighth channel Ch8, and the first channel Ch1 is used as the first track.
T1 to the second channel Ch2 to the second track T2 ...
Channel 8 Ch8 corresponds to track 8 T8.

With this structure, the user sets the operation switch 3 to the channel Ch of the foreign language voice he / she wants to hear,
When the card 1 is inserted from the right end of the slit 4 of the card reader 2, the card detection switch 41 is turned on, the pinch roller 42 is rotated, and the card 1 is slid to the left.
