Lexis

Based upon an intuitive flashcard system, Lexis provides students with more than 5'000 words, ranging from the most basic to the obscure and unfamiliar ones. The main idea behind Lexis is to order a database of words of a huge corpus by the frequency at which they appear. As students are most of the time being asked to produce a translation of Ancient Greek documents into their mother tongue, I believe that teaching the most frequent words would help them along their studies and could improve their grades dramatically.

By using complex machine learning algorithms, the 'Intensive' learning mode is well-suited for students desiring to learn fast and efficiently in the long run. Each 'Intensive' lesson consists of words adapted to the student's level and gets more and more difficult as the student progresses. In case of unfamiliarity with a word, the latter gets flagged and becomes more likely to appear in subsequent lessons again.

Progress and learning efficiency are then calculated and plotted in two graphs for statistical, yet strictly private usage, depicting to what extent a student has progressed since the app was first used.

The 'Classic' learning mode though lists more than 250 lessons, each of which consists of 20 words sorted by their probability of occurence.

Indeed, for both learning modes, the translation of each word may be retrieved through small definitions, even offline. However, those are often insufficient or inaccurate for punctilious students. This is why I also provide access to two well-known dictionaries, namely the eponymous 'Liddell-Scott-Jones' as well as the ‘Bailly'. The latter may also be downloaded on demand, and thus is accessible offline.
