Importing lists of terms

I have been doing a lot of reading in German while sitting on trains. I have a Eurail pass so the travel is all paid for. Yesterday I traveled from Koeln to Heide via Hamburg. The first train was late getting in to Hamburg so I missed my connection and had to hang around the train station.

When I read in German there are words I do not understand, quite a few per page. I import them into LingQ as a list of terms. Then I get them emailed to me. I can review them on the computer, or even sitting on the train,where I can read them again on my Blackberry. Very useful!

Hi Steve,

I am just starting to take advantage of this function of LingQ (btw, I really like your new version of lingQ!!).
However, I had one question, I can enter the list of words, but it is not possible to enter simulteanously the list of hints corresponding to those terms, is this going to be a future feature?
It would be much more convenient, otherwise, I would have to select the words individually, and then write their hints, etc... and it would take so much time!

If the hints could be written in the same process than importing the list of terms, I would use this tool every day!

Thank you,

Martyn
