Introduction

Chapter 1. Introduction

KLettres is a very simple application that helps a child or an adult to learn the alphabet and some simple sounds in his own language or in another language. The program picks up a letter or a syllable in random, this letter/syllable is displayed and the sound is played. The user should then type this letter or syllable. Training is done in the levels where the letter/syllable is not displayed, only the sound is played. The user does not need to know how to use the mouse, the keyboard only is needed.

There are three languages available at the moment: Danish, Dutch and French.

Two different Look and Feel allow you to adapt KLettres to your need. For a child, the menu bar and the language button are not visible. We assume that a child will not want to set the language himself. A box allows him to choose the different levels. For an older user, the background is not so childish and the menuBar is present.

Note

To use Danish as a learning language, you need to have the Danish keyboard layout set up on your system in order to type in special letters of the Danish alphabet. Please use KControl, in the section Peripherals and submenu Keyboard.
