During my many days of studying other languages, which is what I do for a hobby, I would often wonder
if there could be some way to make the grammar more visible, and hence easier to learn. If you have ever tried studying
Ancient Greek, you are sure to share the same sentiment. TachuFind was created with that type problem in mind. While
working my way through John Williams White's First Greek Book, a book on learning Ancient Greek, I
decided to write this program, and I have since found it to be helpful in creating all kinds of colored documents in a very short
timeframe. TachuFind was originally created to work with White's
First Greek Book, but was also standardized to work with
any text. The name TachuFind, is a combination of Ancient Greek (tachu) [phoneticized] and English (find), tachu meaning
swiftly, so put together they mean "swiftly find". While this program was created with the study of language in mind, it is also
useful for tutorials of all sorts and learning any textized material very rapidly. I live in
Mesa, Arizona, USA.
At present, future modifications for this program will be:
1. Add dictionaries that allow editing based on grammar, for example, only verbs
are changed when editing verb endings.
2. Language-specific spellcheckers.
3. Math symbols.
4. A global multi-language spellchecker.
5. Add text to speech capability for more languages.
I am also working on a new project: A Rogue-style game that uses
interaction with monsters, purchase of weapons and supplies to teach the user
the Russian alphabet, grammar, numbers and basics. It will have dynamic lower
levels, so all levels will be unique.
