  • Step S250 Under the standby mode (Step S250), in a case of the repetition of regional study information, when a key signal to code the study element code for designating the studying region and set the number of repetitions is inputted (Steps S252 through S256), the controlling section 110 reproduces to output the study information corresponding to the designated studying region. Even at that time, the controlling section 110 could make the learner designate the number of the repetitions (Step S258). For example, when the learner designates the studying region like 'DE321-DE39871', the controlling section 110 reads to output the 21st sentence through the 9871st sentence from the flash memory 201 at the set times of repetition.
  • the language studying system is capable of performing a comparative study of pronunciation like when the learner records his/her own voice and compares the recorded voice with the source sound.
  • the controlling section 110 determines whether the learner wishes to record the study information to compare by detecting a key signal by the learner (Step S264) when the learner listens to study information corresponding to one code being reproduced at the study mode (Step S262).
  • the controlling section 110 converts the mode into the recording mode by receiving a signal of the compare record key 14, stores the pronunciation of the learner's inputted through the microphones 192 and 194, and displays the recording time and a recording address on the screen of the display 140 when the compare record key 14 is pressed by the learner and the voice of the learner is inputted through the microphones 192 and 194 (Steps S266 and S268).
  • the controlling section 110 receives a signal of the play key 2 and sequentially outputs the source sound of the study information and the learner's recorded voice (pronunciation) so that the learner can compare the two sounds (Step S270).
  • the controlling section 110 provides a recording mode that the learner records his/her own voice during listening to single study information corresponding to one code at a predetermined time, so that the learner can compare a plurality of his/her own recorded voices with the single study information.
  • the controlling section 110 makes a pronunciation comparison study regarding single study information such as the same sentence or same vocabulary.
  • the controlling section 110 maximizes the speaking practice of the learner by reproducing the learner's recorded voice together the source sound in accordance with the manipulation of keys (Steps S272 through S274).
  • the learner can sequentially listen to respective recorded answers corresponding to a plurality of different codes to each other. Namely, when the learner selects the Q/A record key 15 so as to perform the sequential answer study during reproducing the study information (Steps S280 and S282), the controlling section 110 converts the mode into the recording mode and records the answering signal inputted by the learner in the flash memory 201 after the study information is printed out (Step S286). At that time, the controlling section displays a recording time and recording address on the screen of the display 140 (Step S288), reads and reproduces an original questing sound and the recorded answer of the learner from the flash memory 201 in response to the signal of the play key 2 (Step S290).
  • the controlling section 110 determines whether to continue the sequential answer study in response to a key signal inputted by the learner (Step S292). As a result of the determination, if the learner does not want to continue the sequential answer study ('NO' in Step S292), the controlling section 110 finishes the sequential answer study. If the learner wants to continue the sequential answer study ('YES' in Step S292), the controlling section 110 keeps reproducing the study infonnation and performs procedures from the Step S286 again.
  • the second question and answer are recorded in a second address of the memory. These questions and answers are recorded in the flash memory 201 or an extend memory up to 20 (twenty) times.
  • the controlling section 110 In a state of recording the questions and answers in the flash memory 201, when the learner manipulates the play key 2, the controlling section 110 sequentially reproduces the recorded questions and answers recorded in the flash memory 201 so that the learner sequentially listens the outputted questions and answers. Therefore, the question and answer practice becomes more effective.

Abstract

Un système d'apprentissage de langue d'un moyen d'enregistrement indexé par le code de classement numérique permet à l'utilisateur de rapidement rechercher les données correspondantes en entrant un code de classement numérique dans un état d'indexation du code de classement numérique pour distinguer les données respectives d'un moyen d'enregistrement et enregistrer les données correspondant au code numérique dans une mémoire. Dans le cas d'apprentissage de langue, plusieurs langues étant disponibles, l'effet de l'étude de langue est maximisé. Le système d'apprentissage de langue comprend un moyen d'enregistrement d'un code de classement numérique donné par indexation de données apprentissage avec des éléments respectifs et des motifs par correspondance des données apprentissage, et un appareil apprentissage numérique pour les données d'apprentissage enregistrées en étant mises en correspondance avec le code de classement numérique lorsqu'un utilisateur entre le code de classement numérique.
