WARNINGS & NOTES
- The data must be formatted correctly.
- If it doesn't work, you probably have extra spaces or spaces in the wrong place.
- You also must have at least 7 items in the data for the program to work correctly.
- UTF-8 (unicode)

2-part Data

This is what most language teachers will probably use. You have a word in "language 1" then the same word in "language 2."

Language 1 Language 2 Language 1 Language 2

3-part Data

For languages that use characters that are difficult to read, then you have the option of adding in "reading help" into the data. To do this, the difficult-to-read language should be "language 1."
