Modern Foreign Languages

with Writing with Symbols 2000

Help your learners with MFL with these resources.

For schools in the UK learning Modern Foreign Languages there are add-ons that will convert your existing English version into a multi-language version. The menus and front screen remain in English, but at a click of a button you can change the wordlists, the spell checker and the speech into another language.

Versions are currently available in:

French
Spanish
German

The symbols help the student to relate the new language to the familiar concepts.

The speech helps the student become familiar with pronunciation.

A grid of accented letters makes writing easier for students who can type.

Each language has its own structure, and Writing with Symbols 2000 has been developed to handle these

French features

For example in French, special features
are needed to handle reflexive verbs so
that the appropriate images only are shown.

In Spanish the verbs do not use personal pronouns, but graphically this information has to be shown so that the symbol reader can understand it.
