Thank you Frederik!

This means I will need to solve this once we maintain the data in Ambaradan
- it's then a matter of how to export. For now: I'll create one lesson
"mixed" and various specific ones like animals, countries, medicine, music
etc. - in the end: I'll use classes and subclasses and the lesson structure
over time will change a lot. I worked with Parley, but there are many
features I still don't know well.

Cheers, Sabine

at some point we experimented with having words in more than one lesson.<br>
In the end it turned out that it is very confusing how to manage this in the<br>

&gt; One creates lessons with entries - but some entries should go into more<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; For example: when I create a vocabulary trainer for English to whatever<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; 1) &quot;lesson 1 - Traveling to Great Britain&quot; (which follows for example \
the<br> &gt; entries found in a schoolbook) where for example the terms Germany, \
Great<br> &gt; Britain are inserted<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; then one day there is a specific lesson about Geography<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; 2) &quot;lesson 35 - All about Geography&quot; where among many other country \
names<br> &gt; you also have Germany and Great Britain<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; The entry in the database should be single, while the usage twice or even<br>
&gt; more depending fromt he actual lessons. This avoids that spelling errors<br>
&gt;  get distributed, because only one entry is maintained.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Up to now I did not see any example like this in files I downloaded. (While<br>
&gt; cleaning the files I am preparing the next steps ... so it would be good to<br>
