Words

Every word needs to be added to as many lessons as are relevant:

• Recording Type: Words (everything automatically gets added to the "All" Recording Type)
• Themed lessons, e.g. a chick needs to be added to the following lessons:
  • birds
  • animals

Phrases

In general, phrases only get added to the Recording Type: Phrases lesson, and NOT to the other lessons such as the Themed lessons.

To understand why, you need to understand a little bit how Lingopolo works.

For each lesson of vocabulary, there is a related lesson of "Examples", generated automatically from the words in the basic lesson e.g.

• the Birds lesson has a related Birds Examples lesson
• the Body Parts lesson has a related Body Parts Examples lesson

The Examples lesson will contain:

• all the words in the source lesson (e.g. the Birds Examples lesson will contain all the words in the Birds lesson)
• PLUS, all the example sentences which use the words in the source lesson. So, for example, since chick is in the Birds lesson, the Birds Examples lesson will contain:
  • the word chick
  • PLUS all the example sentences for chick, which at the time of writing is:
    • a chick is yellow
    • a chicken is older than a chick
    • the chick
    • the chick is the baby of the hen

The end result of this is a basic rule for phrases: do NOT put phrases into any of the lessons other than the Recording Type lesson.

For example, you would not add the phrase "the chick" to the Birds lesson, but only the word chick. The phrase "the chick" will automatically get added to the Birds Examples lesson since "chick" is in the Birds lesson, and "the chick" is of course an example of "chick" being used.
