Learning Languages Tool - and Maybe a Model for a Biblical Language Learning Tool

Liam

I just stumbled on to a book/language learning service that does something for fiction books that I’ve wished a company would do with scripture for learning the biblical languages. At a progressively increasing rate, it inserts words from another language into the text (that are hyperlinked to a pop up of the translations). So that in reading the book - you are also learning a vast network of vocabulary for another language. The company and app are called Prismatext: https://prismatext.com/ . 

I would absolutely love something like this for scripture! Wondering what you all think of this? I would be all about it if Logos developed something like this for learning the original languages of their resources (but especially Scripture). I just bought a English to Greek Prismatext book, maybe I’ll pick up something I can use in my microscopically slow learning of biblical Greek…

Logos's implementation of this kind of feature is called the Reader's Edition (although note that the button icon has changed since that video; it now has an aleph/omega symbol).

The feature is used with interlinear resources (like The Lexham Greek-English Interlinear New Testament). It let's you turn on the English translation line, but hide the translation for certain words based either on frequency of occurrence or its presence in a Word List document.
