Example session
Welcome to 'Toisto'!
Practice as many words and phrases as you like, as long as you like. Hit Ctrl-C or Ctrl-D to quit.
Toisto tracks how many times you correctly translate words and phrases. The fewer times you have
translated a word or phrase successfully, the more often it is presented for you to translate.

How it works
Toisto presents words and phrases in Dutch and Finnish for you to translate. Words and phrases are sorted by 'progress'. When you translate a word or phrase correctly, its progress increases, otherwise it decreases. Words and phrases are sorted by progress so that the ones with the lowest score are presented to you first. When you stop the program (hit Ctrl-C or Ctrl-D), progress is saved in a file named .toisto-progress.json
in your home folder.
