Hi Gerry. I've been trying to learn Spanish 'on and off' for a few years and, as a result of this, I've built up a small collection of Spanish courses on cassette tapes and CDs. I'd like to use these to create a couple of thousand very short tracks on the PTR1, no more than ten or twenty seconds for each track. Each of the tracks would consist of a bit of English followed by the equivalent Spanish. By randomising - or 'shuffling' all of the tracks, I could feed them to myself one at a time using the next and pause buttons. I'm hoping that this will create a very effective way for me to remember what I've learnt..
