Compiling a iPhone-based Italian grammar for vacation
April 4, 2019 8:00 AM Subscribe
I speak a little Italian, but am far from fluent. I’d like to compile a personal grammar with self-selected vocabulary and basic conjugations for regular and irregular verbs. I’ll have the grammar on my iPhone, but do not expect to have access to the internet other than hotel WiFi. Any suggestions on how to do this?
Really this is two questions: 1) how best to scrape together the grammar and 2) what format to make it so that it is searchable and editable on my iPhone without an internet connection.
For question 1), I’d appreciate any ideas you might have for cut-and-pastable word lists. I guess I’d get the conjugation from wordreference.com or something—easy enough to pull present/future/simple past and conditional (e.g. vorrei) for regular and key irregular verbs. But any one-stop shop for food, clothing, etc. would be helpful. I just don’t want to do a lot of data entry.
For 2), I currently have these apps: apple notes, Word and OneNote (though this is managed by employer and I’m not sure whether my profile will work without logging in to their office 365 server, Evernote, Google docs, and maybe others. It would be great if I could make chapters or an index to jump to the resources I need in the moment.
If there’s a great ready made app (or a great searchable pdf—like the State Department language courses), I guess I could narrow the scope and just make a custom vocab list.
Thanks!

Can you install Apple's native App called Numbers? It works like most spreadsheet apps and allows different tabs.
