Python Random Word/answer generator?

I just rejoined french, french 3, and am trying to figure out ways that I could study french vocab in a manner that I would more easily enjoy... So obviously the computer comes to mind as a wise choice, since I am on it more then enough so I don't think using it to study would be all to difficult. Now comes the problem... how to do it?

I was thinking, I could write a Python 'program' that would let me define what I wanted to practice, such as 'Verbs,' 'Seasons,' 'Random Words' or something like that(I am almost completely unknowing in the french language I guess, and so is everyone I know in the class so it's not as if I am alone ) to start off with, and from there I can choose another catagory such as French to English or vise versa. Then it would give me a word(randomly from a list) and I would type the corresponding answer. For verbs maybe I could have a string of the answers for singular(f), singular(m) and such for answers.

This would be a project that grew as the class went on basically. Then at the end of the year I could just compile all of the words and run through them and make sure I know them. A system that would resubmit any wrong answers to be reasked later would be great! I figure if I just added the newly aquired words every day, the work load of adding words would be slim, but it would also FORCE me to sit down and do it, or else I would get behind. It would also act as a way to study since I would be forced to read and write the words down. Going through the program after that would be easy, since I find myself lazing around on the computer sometimes without anything I can really do while waiting on something or someone. It would also be handy to give to my friends to study for finals and such. Possible division of lists into weeks/month would be nice, but not required since it's best to know ALL of what you have learned in the past, not just what will show up on a test(weekly and also semester and all that good stuff)

Does that seem to hard to do? I wouldnt think it would be much of a challange once I got the configuration all up, which itself doesnt seem all to difficult, just above me by many lengths Any input would be fantastic! Thanks a lot

It depends on how good you are in programming, but it's pretty easy I guess, and given that you've already chosen Python (which is a very good choice IMO), I think you know enough to code that.

Actually, I'll take a language course soon, and I'm thinking of implementing something similar after reading your post, maybe when I have some free time, because I'm really busy these days

Good luck, I'll let you know if I program something similar.

Well all I have done with Python something where I input a side of a tianlge or some shape and i get an area or something like that... used it last year when we had one day when we just did that to about 15-30 different things... find the 3rd length of the triangle, find the area... better then my calculator Beyond that I have no idea... I don't know hwo to pair words with answers, or random word choosing... and ya, I don't have all to much time what with school and all... hmm... dang!
