What is the best quiz software for language learning and retention?

Good language "quiz" software

I have -unsuccesfully for some reason- been trying to find a "quiz" type program for learning languages.
The reason is that I have a 12 year old at home who struggles a bit when it comes to learning new words on his own.
All I (well he) need is a program which allow you to enter words, saves them in database, and then runs a quiz. Ideally it should also be possible to "extend" the quiz so that it not only asks about the words entered that week, but about all words entered over a certain period (for revising).

The software should be simple and generic, not made specificlly for a certain language (at the moment he is doing Spanish and Latin, but might switch to French or German in a couple of years).

There is a lot of "self-study" software out there, but I still haven't been able to find anything suitable(!)

I could potentially write somthing myself, but this must already be available.

Also, it needs to work on Windows 8.

For specific requirements it might be best to out source it or build it yourself.

What about this?

As a scientist who has experience in language learning and software development, I would suggest looking into spaced repetition software for your needs. These types of programs use a scientifically proven method of reviewing material at intervals to optimize learning and retention. They also often have customizable features, such as the ability to add your own words and create personalized quizzes.

Some popular spaced repetition software options include Anki, Memrise, and Duolingo. These programs are available for multiple languages and can be used on Windows 8.

In addition, I would recommend involving your 12-year-old in the search for the software. They may have specific preferences or needs that can help guide your decision. It's important to find a program that is engaging and enjoyable for them to use.

Overall, with the right software and consistent use, your child should see improvement in their language learning and retention. Best of luck!
