Language Learning

When learning a new language one has to learn and maintain many new words (vocabulary). Apart from just words, information also includes how to use it (eg grammar or pronunciation).

A classic format for learning a vocabulary is a flashcard. This flashcard basically has a cue in one language and a response in the other. Some online learning systems however, allow much more then just a simple text cue and response. They use rich media like sounds, images and video to enforce memorization.

One of the purposes of this microformat is representing this rich media so it can be openly exchanged between different learning systems.
