What is the best quiz software for language learning and retention?

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking effective language quiz software to aid their 12-year-old in learning new vocabulary. The ideal program should allow users to input words, save them in a database, and generate quizzes that can include both recent and previously entered words for revision. The software needs to be simple, generic, and compatible with multiple languages, as the child is currently studying Spanish and Latin but may switch to French or German later. Existing self-study software has not met these needs, prompting the consideration of custom solutions. Recommendations include Quizmaster and OpenTeacher, as well as Anki, which may fulfill the requirements. Compatibility with Windows 8 is also essential.

Good language "quiz" software

I have -unsuccesfully for some reason- been trying to find a "quiz" type program for learning languages.
The reason is that I have a 12 year old at home who struggles a bit when it comes to learning new words on his own.
All I (well he) need is a program which allow you to enter words, saves them in database, and then runs a quiz. Ideally it should also be possible to "extend" the quiz so that it not only asks about the words entered that week, but about all words entered over a certain period (for revising).

The software should be simple and generic, not made specificlly for a certain language (at the moment he is doing Spanish and Latin, but might switch to French or German in a couple of years).

There is a lot of "self-study" software out there, but I still haven't been able to find anything suitable(!)

I could potentially write somthing myself, but this must already be available.

Also, it needs to work on Windows 8.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
