pdf's for sections of the vocabulary

Hi,
it would be great to have pdfs for sections of the vocabulary - one for lessons 1-15, one for 16-30 & so on.
I usually access the vocab online, but in a pdf one could highlight the words one is having a problem with, which would make it easy to practice just those words quickly next time.

Thanks.

Make visited and unvisited links look different

Years back, Jakob Nielson listed a "top 10 mistakes of web design":

3. Not Changing the Color of Visited Links

A good grasp of past navigation helps you understand your current location, since it's the culmination of your journey. Knowing your past and present locations in turn makes it easier to decide where to go next. Links are a key factor in this navigation process. Users can exclude links that proved fruitless in their earlier visits. Conversely, they might revisit links they found helpful in the past.

Most important, knowing which pages they've already visited frees users from unintentionally revisiting the same pages over and over again.

These benefits only accrue under one important assumption: that users can tell the difference between visited and unvisited links because the site shows them in different colors. When visited links don't change color, users exhibit more navigational disorientation in usability testing and unintentionally revisit the same pages repeatedly.

Usability implications of changing link colors Guidelines for showing links

Steve Krug says the same in Don't Make Me Think!

You should be able to turn on visited link colors by adding to the end of http://www.kypros.org/LearnGreek/theme/standard/styles.php :

a.visited { color: rgb(85, 26, 139) !important; }

dictionary to be written in english letters

I think the dictionary section could be in both English and greek letters for those who didn't learn to read in greek alphabet yet but still wished to revise the words taken..

Audio Quality

This is a wonderful and comprehensive course, and even though I have already completed Pimsleur 1 and 2 and I can speak basic Greek, I find that going back to the beginning and listening/ reading along is very helpful in filling in the gaps that occur in language learning.

Having said this, I also have to remark that the audio quality is very poor, lacking high end definition which enables one to hear consonants properly. One could easily learn to pronounce a word incorrectly if they weren't reading along and didn't already read Greek (which I do).

I realize that this is a free resource and as such, better audio files may not be possible. Still, I would gladly pay a fee for crisp, high-quality audio or downloadable audio. Any thoughts on how this could happen?

Cheers,

Jude

No todos hablamos inglés

Lamentablemente no todos hablamos inglés a la perfección y eso dificulta aprender el idioma. Si no fuera una molestia me ayudaría mucho que estuviera en castellano
