• Learning with Texts (LWT) is a tool for Language Learning, inspired by Stephen Krashen's principles in Second Language Acquisition, Steve Kaufmann's LingQ System, and ideas from Khatzumoto, published at "AJATT - All Japanese All The Time".
• You define languages you want to learn.
• You define the web dictionaries you want to use.

• You read the text while listening to the audio, and you see immediately the status of every word (unknown, learning, learned, well-known, ignored).
• You click on words, and you use the external dictionaries to find out their meanings.
