Tasks I want to do

Train a foreign language by reading and/or hearing sentences

I need to select my language I know and the foreign language I want to learn. Then there are different modes this could operate:

• I am presented with a written sentence in my language and have to type the sentence in the foreign language.
• I am presented with a written sentence in the foreign and have to type the sentence in my language.
• I hear the sentence in the foreign and have to type the sentence in my language.

As a variant in all three cases instead of having to write the sentence I could be presented with a chioce of several sentences of which only one is valid. The difficulty in doing this to find good alternatives to the right sentence to present as wrong choices. Possible algorithms would be: substitute single words with "similar" others. Choose stored sentences which share most of the words. For good results some human input might be necessary about what sentences are similar but wrong and what other might be still right answers even though composed of different words.

Edit the database

I want to add or remove sentences and medias. I want to connect media to sentences and sentences to other sentences.

User/Friend administration

I need to assign trust levels to my friends. I need to accept new friends or remove old ones (maybe processing revocation messages).

These three tasks are sufficiently different, that it makes sense to have three separate user interfaces for them. They could be placed on different tabs in the same frame.
