More on smart.fm

Set in the interpretation learning frame, does Smart.fm fit?

The assumption is that there is AN answer to A question.

Or let's say, a rendering of language A to language B. The problem is that there is none.

So the issue is this :

You give on one side of the flashcard a sentence.

Then you give "the answer", that is, a possible rendering on the reverse side. Is this a way to learn interpretation?

I think the answer is NO. And yet, at the same time, this doesn't make a reason to throw the SRS baby and water in the sewer.

I still don't have a clear enough understanding of what the computer-assisted interpreter training systems around really look like and what they provide in details. The researchers, the academics or their publishers don't care to provide even a single screen shot with their papers - and I bought a few expensive ones. But anyway. They are behind, and Smart.fm is ahead. I read in AJATT a reference to this company located in Tokyo together with the utility subs2srs. The creativity of it all is awesome. Nintendo will follow suit and sell this at a price but for the time being, it is delivered free. How will publishers make money or die out of this in the age of digital replication? I don't know. But the learners of all kind, granted they can break the procrastination wall, are already empowered to enter with a vengeance into learning, forign languages first. What I see currently lacking in Smart.fm but also in any SRS is the encouragement factor. Please, no clapping at the end of a successful study session, but something that sustain the fire for going on is required. And by the way, why can't I opt to be email reminded that it's time to learn? Anyway, anyway, there's something awesome here. Phrases books are coming with CDs, mp3s. Now they should come with SRS stack ready to feed Anki and the likes. Will I still buy the books when they do so?
