Computer-Assisted
Language Learning Software
The software listed here was developed at
the University of Minnesota and is freely available. THESE ARE VERY OLD PROGRAMS
AND ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED. The programs require a PC
platform for operation. "Russian Conjugation and Declension" runs
under DOS 3.3 or later. "Sentences" runs under MS Windows 3.0 or
later. These programs are stored here in compressed form. After downloading to
your machine, these files will need to be uncompressed using the application
pkunzip.exe. The "Sentences" programs need to be stored in directories
immediately off the root directory of your machine, e.g., as c:\lesson.01\.
