How to make for loop faster in python?

How would I make a studying program in python?

• I am trying to make a program that will display a word at random word. Then I am prompted to give a translation. If I'm right or wrong it will say so and then display the next word for me to translate. I am completely new to python, so I'm not sure exactly how to programs strings, or generators, or do if statements. Also how would I make the program run until I say I want to shut it down. Or do I just make it an infinite loop? Help? *I have python 2.7.2 on my computer

• Answer:

  Python has a powerful List feature which would suit your needs. You could either create two lists and match the word in one list and the translation in the second list or use a single list with he words paired. If statements are fairly standard and can be used after, for example, 10 questions to determine if the user wants to continue. There is extensive documentation and tutorials available for Python.
