Question 1

Which languages does the builder support?

Accepted Answer

The builder supports all major world languages taught in K-12 and higher education: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, Hindi, Latin, and Ancient Greek. For less commonly taught languages, the quality of output depends on available training data, teachers should verify output for less common languages before distributing.

Question 2

How does the builder handle gendered nouns and verb conjugations?

Accepted Answer

For languages with grammatical gender (Spanish, French, German, Arabic), the builder includes the definite article with each noun to indicate gender. Verb entries include the infinitive form, the conjugation pattern type, and key conjugated forms used in the example sentences. For Mandarin, tonal marks and pinyin are included alongside characters.

Question 3

Can I generate lists aligned to specific ACTFL proficiency levels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Specify the ACTFL proficiency level (Novice Low through Distinguished) or the course level (French 1, AP Spanish, IB German SL) and the builder calibrates vocabulary frequency, sentence complexity, and grammatical structures accordingly. AP and IB course lists include the formal register and idiomatic usage required for those assessments.

Question 4

Does the builder generate pronunciation guides?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For languages using the Latin alphabet (Spanish, French, German), the builder adds phonetic pronunciation guides in brackets after each term. For character-based languages (Mandarin, Japanese, Arabic), the builder includes romanized pronunciation systems (pinyin, furigana/romaji, transliteration) alongside the native script.

Question 5

Can I generate vocabulary lists organized by semantic theme?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Thematic vocabulary organization (grouping words by topic (clothing, weather, emotions) rather than grammatical category) improves retention and mirrors how vocabulary is encountered in real communication. Specify the theme and proficiency level and the builder generates a thematically organized list with each word in context.
