Language learning stacks

[Mike Bonner]

Well in your quest, you might find this site useful.
http://www.ilovelanguages.com/idp/IDPfiles.html

Has some flat files from and to various languages, might save you some
work if you decide to have a real go at this.  Still no graphics
involved but still a pretty useful resource.

Remember those First Thousand Words books with contextualized drawings showing vocabulary for the kitchen, barnyard, garden, etc.?

Good, coherent artwork would be a real issue, even with the abundance of free clip-art online, it would be fragmented and of questionable quality.
