KLettres
Version 1.5.1© 2001-2008 Anne-Marie Mahfouf
KLettres aims to help to learn the alphabet and then to read some syllables in different languages.
It is meant to help learning the very first sounds of a new language, for children or for adults.
Currently available are: Czech, British English, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German,
Hebrew, Italian, Low Saxon, Luganda, Romanized Hindi, Spanish and Slovak, you
can choose using the Languages menu.
A toolbar with the special characters per language is now provided if you don't have the correct country keyboard or the keyboard layout to be able to display correctly the accented letters.

Features
KLettres has four levels which can be changed via a Levels drop down box or the Level menu:- Level 1: the letter is displayed and the user hears it.
- Level 2: the letter is not displayed, the user only hears it.
- Level 3: the syllable is displayed and the user hears it.
- Level 4: the syllable is not displayed, the user only hears it.
You can also choose the mode(kid or grown-up) via the colored buttons on the toolbar and KLettres will keep your settings and restore them the next time you play.
The Settings menu allows you the usual KDE settings. You can also change the font that displays the letter/syllable as in some distributions, the default big font is quite ugly! Furthermore, languages as Czech or Slovak might need a font as Arial for example to display the accented characters properly.
If you want to contribute for your own language, please have a look here. Thank you in advance!
