Too much typing. Yet pauker is rather slow if the lesson is over a few
hundreds of entries.

Great if you only study the languages :) I've been studying English since
around '91, w/o much of success (due to lousy teachers) till '98-2000. A
year in the USA helped like a hell lot. When I just came, I was asked about
the duration of my languages studies at the interview. And I had to lie
because nobody would believe in such a sluggish progress :)
