Hello,

I think that the GUI suggestions are interesting but don't forget to thin=
k=20
about didactical problems. Somtimes I miss that kind of thoughts here.=20

For example a programs like KVerbos or KNorskVerb: Often it is mentioned =
to=20
extend the program so that it can conjugate other languages. Surely it is=
=20
interesting to keep this way open if someone comes and says I do the=20
conjugation class for - let's say - Frensh. To extend KVerbos only such=20
classes would be necessary. But for a learner this isn't interesting. Mor=
e=20
interesting would be to offer exercises in sentences because this is=20
interesting from a didactically point of view.=20

Or KBruch: The program is intersting. But from a didactically point of vi=
ew=20
there are missing some things. For example:
- a visual representation of fractions in circles, rectangeles, ... for=20
beginners
- the possibility to practic conversions from fractions to decimal number=
s and=20
vica versa.  1/8 =3D 0.125
- the calculation with 'mixed numbers' like  2 1/3 + 5 1/7 =3D=20
- train actions like   1/3 =3D 3/9 or   15/45 =3D 1/3. I don't know the E=
nglisch=20
words for this actions.

Maybe it would be interesting to adjust the programs to the screen resolu=
tion.=20
For example 800x600 or others.
For mathematical programs it would be interesting to configure if a '.' o=
r a=20
',' is used in decimal numbers.
